Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Applications 2-​Methylnaphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been used as an indicator of smoke exposure in food and packaging materials. This compound is a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs) Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Johnston, J.J., et. al.: J. Agr. Food Chem., 42, 1954 (1994)

Stability Light Sensitive Applications 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene is a polycyclic aomatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with mutagenic activity. 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene is a major DNA adduct-forming component of coal tar. Recent studies suggest that 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene may be capable of inducing lung tumors. References Lavoie, E.L. et al.: Mutat. Res.
