The International Agency for Research on Cancer [5] has determined that benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is carcinogenic to humans (group 1), whereas benz[a]anthracene (BaA),
chrysene (Chry), benzo[A;]fluoranthene (BA;F) and benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) are possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B).
Due to their toxicity to humans, the following 17 compounds are most frequently determined: acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(e)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene,
chrysene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, fluoranthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene.
The standard curve of PAHs was including naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene,
chrysene, benzo(b) fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, indeno(1,2,3-cd) pyrene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene as shown in figure 1.
A certified PAH reference material, containing the 7 EPA priority PAHs including; Naphthalene (Np), Anthracene (An),
Chrysene (Chry) and Acenaphthylene (Ace) fluorine (F), Benzo ([alpha]) Pyrene, (B[[alpha]] Py Fluoranthene (Fi) with 97 to 100 % purity was obtained from Accustandard (New Haven, USA).
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): Naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, fluorene, anthracene, pyrene,
chrysene (internal standard (i.s)), benzo(a)anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene.
The PAHs studied were fluoranthene,
chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (Sigma-Aldrich[R]), and benzo(a)pyrene (Supelco[R]).
Therefore, additional MLs for the sum of four PAHs (PAH4: BaP, benz[a] anthracene (BaA),
chrysene (CHR), and benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbFA)) were set in Commission Regulation (EU) No.
The detoxification responses, damage effects and bioaccumulation in the scallop Chlamys farreri exposed to single and mixtures of benzo [a] pyrene and
chrysene. Comp.
The company said three versions of the men's Cedar Wood State range in khaki, black and blue contained
chrysene, a carcinogenic risk to humans, according to Science Direct.
The chemical behind the alert,
chrysene, is found in cigarette smoke, creosote and coal tar.
