Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) Standards

Applications 2-​Methylnaphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been used as an indicator of smoke exposure in food and packaging materials. 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 Johnston, J.J., et. al.: J. Agr. Food Chem., 42, 1954 (1994)

Applications 1,1’-Diphenyl is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been shown to cause genetic effects in yeast and developmental defects and mitotic abnormalities in sea urchins. 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 Pagano, G., et. al.: Teratogen. Carcin. Mut., 3, 377 (1983)

Stability Light Sensitive Applications 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene is a polycyclic aomatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with mutagenic activity. 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene is a major DNA adduct-forming component of coal tar. Recent studies suggest that 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene may be capable of inducing lung tumors. References Lavoie, E.L. et al.: Mutat. Res.

Stability Hygroscopic Applications 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-hydrobromide-(1S)-6,7-isoquinolinediol has been used in the preparation of (-)-Higenamine (H325800) References Ho, C.L., Ko, J.L., Chen, C.M.: J. Chinese Biochem. Soc., 14, 94 (1985)

Applications 2,3,5-Trimethacarb is a major constituent in landrin insecticide. References Sun, Y., Johnson, E.R.: J. Econ. Entomol., 65, 349 (1972); Slade, M., Casida, J.E.: J. Arg. Food Chem., 18, 467 (1970)
