Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) Standards

Stability Light Sensitive, Volatile Applications Benzofuran is produced from coal tar. Found in tobacco smoke derived compounds, it is a carcinogen, seen to cause kidney damage. However it is also used in combination with phenolic antioxidants in meat curing. It has also recently been used in the synthesis of novel glutarimide antibiotics.
