CAS 193-39-5: Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene
Description:Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its complex fused ring structure, which consists of five interconnected aromatic rings. It is a solid at room temperature and typically appears as a dark, crystalline substance. This compound is known for its high stability and resistance to degradation, making it persistent in the environment. Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene is primarily found in fossil fuels and is produced during the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as coal and oil. It is recognized for its potential carcinogenic properties, as it can form DNA adducts, leading to mutagenic effects. The substance is poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which influences its behavior in environmental contexts. Due to its toxicological profile, it is subject to regulatory scrutiny, particularly concerning its presence in air, soil, and water. Overall, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene serves as an important marker for environmental pollution and is studied for its implications in human health and ecological risk assessments.
