Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Applications A metabolite of Bentazon, a selective post-emergence herbicide. References Klibanov, A., et al.: Science, 221, 259 (1983), Huber, R., et al.: Rev. Environ. Contam. Toxicol., 137, 111 (1994), Roper, J., et al.: Wat. Res., 29, 2720 (1995),

Applications A heterocyclic aromatic compound with potent mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. References Dowty, H., et al.: Carcinogenesis, 21, 991 (2000), Zacharova, L., et al.: Toxicol. Sci., 73, 108 (2003), Buters, J., et al.: Chem. Res. Toxicol., 15, 1127 (2002),

Applications 2,3-Benzoperylene is a potent mutagen. It can be used as a standard in determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s). References Durant, J., et al.: Mutat. Res-Genet. Tox., 446, 1 (1999); Schubert, P., et al.: Analyt. Chem.m 75, 234 (2003)

Applications Labelled analogue of Dibenz[a,h]anthracene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and a known carcinogen. Dibenz[a,h]anthracene has produced positive results in bacterial DNA damage and mutagenicity assays and in mammalian cell DNA damage, mutagenicity and cell transformation assays. 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 Farmer, P.B. et al.: Mutat. Res. Re. Mutat.
