Applications Labelled analogue of Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and a known carcinogen. Indeno[ 1,2,3-cd]pyrene is listed as a priority pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene has been detected in automobile engine exhaust, charcoal broiled foods, ground water, river sediments as well as cigarette smoke condensate. References Rice, J.E. et al.: J.

Applications 1,3-Indandione is one of the starting materials in the one-pot multi-component synthesis of indenone-fused heterocyclic derivatives. Also it acts as electron-withdrawing end group used for organic photovoltaic cell application. References Bayayt, M., et al.: Tetrahedron, 73, 1196-1204 (2017); Lim, E.: Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst., 635, 94-101 (2016);

Applications Acridine (D9, 98%) (cas# 34749-75-2) is a useful research chemical. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package

Applications It is listed as a known human carcinogen. Used in manufacturing of dyes, as antioxidant in rubber. 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 IARC Monographs, 4, 97 (1974),

Applications Phenazine (cas# 92-82-0) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

Applications 1-Pyrenol Acetate is an intermediate in the synthesis of 8-Nitro-1-pyrenol-d8 (N519992), which is an urinary hydroxylated metabolites used as a biomarkers of exposure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This is the labeled analog. References Toriba, A., et al.: J. Health. Sci., 53; 631 (2007); Chae, Y.H., et al.: Cancer Res., 59, 1473 (1999); Sangaiah, R., et al.: Poly. Aro. Comp., 11, 283 (1996);

Applications 5-Methylchrysene is one of the methylated chrysenes (MeChry), as an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist. Methylated chrysenes (MeChry) are important cigarette smoke constituents and 5-MeChry has been listed as possibly carcinogenic to humans. 5-Methylchrysene is a possible carcinogenic agent. 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 Amin, S., et al.: Cancer Res., 45, 6406 (1985), Blaha, L., et al.: Toxicol.

Applications A naturally abundant pneumotoxin, found primarily in mammalian feces providing its strong fecal odor. In lower concentrations however, the compound has a pleasent aroma, giving orange blossoms and jasmine their pleasing scent. It is often a component of commercial fragrances and perfumes. 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 Nakashima, T., et al.: Biol.
