Applications Fluoranthene is a commonly occurring environmental pollutant and can be classified as either a tumour initiator or a cocarcinogen in humans. Fluoranthene is widely used as an intermediate to synthesize fluorescent dyes. 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 Hecht, S., et al.: Carcinogenesis, 16, 1433 (1995); Storer, J., et al.: Arch. Dermatol., 120, 874 (1984); Ma, X., et al.: Dyes Pigments, 82, 353 (2009)

Applications Thiophene is used as a building block of various organic molecules and pharmaceuticals providing functional properties. 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 Prasad, B. et al.: Chem. Comm., 48, 10434 (2012); Freitas, V. et al.: Struct. Chem., 24, 661 (2013);

Applications Acetone 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone is a dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPH) derivative of an aliphatic ketone found in mainstream cigarette smoke. Acetone 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone showed inhibitory activity towards soybean lipoxygenase and renal prostaglandin synthetase. Dyes and metabolites. References Delgado, B. et al.: J. Liq. Chrom.
