Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Stability Moisture Sensitive Applications Phorate Oxon Sulfone is a major metabolite of Phorate (P353500), an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase. 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 Boshoff, P.R., et al.: J. Agr. Food Chem., 27, 626 (1979),

Applications 2-Methylnaphthalene-D10 is a labelled analogue of 2-Methylnaphthalene (M323130). 2-​Methylnaphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been used as an indicator of smoke exposure in food and packaging materials. 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)

Applications 3-Chloroacenaphthene is a chloro derivative of Acenaphthene (D448330); a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon serving as a carcinogenic agent. References Hansen, B., et al.: Environ. Toxicol. Chem., 18, 772 (1999); Czub, G., et al.: Environ. Sci. Technol., 38, 2406 (2004)

Applications Octachloronapthalene is a polychlorinated napththalene (PCN) produced via industrial thermal processes. It is a chemical pollutant present in the environment. References Liu, G. et al.: Chemos., 118, 112 (2015); Pena-Abaurrea, M. et al.: Env. Sci. Tech., 48, 9591 (2014);

Applications Labelled Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (D416945). An active metabolite from inhalation and dermal exposure to polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons in hot mix asphalt paving workers. DBC is the most potent tumorigen that has been identified to date. Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a carcinogen and should be handled with appropriate caution.
