Benzo[a]pyrene

Description:

Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its fused benzene rings, specifically consisting of five rings. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is known for its high stability and hydrophobic nature, making it poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. BaP is primarily produced through incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as fossil fuels, tobacco, and grilled meats, and is commonly found in environmental pollutants, including air, soil, and water. It is recognized as a potent carcinogen, with the ability to form DNA adducts, leading to mutagenic effects. Due to its toxicological properties, BaP is subject to regulatory scrutiny and is monitored in various environmental and food safety contexts. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential effects on human health, particularly in relation to cancer risk, prompting ongoing research into its mechanisms of action and pathways of exposure.

Benzopyrene

Controlled Product

CAS: 50-32-8

Applications Benzopyrene is a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in coal tar. Benzopyrene is a known carcinogen. The metabolism of Benzopyrene results in diol epoxides that react and bind to DNA forming adducts which in turns leads to mutations and eventually cancer.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

Benzo[a]pyrene

Controlled Product

CAS: 50-32-8

Benzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is found in cigarette smoke, coal tar, and other sources. It has been shown to be the most potent carcinogen ever tested in animals, and is a known human carcinogen. Benzo[a]pyrene has been shown to cause cancer at various sites in the body. The carcinogenic potential of this compound may be due to its ability to inhibit mitochondrial membrane depolarization and inhibit DNA repair enzymes by covalent binding. This compound also causes an increase in free radical production and oxidative stress which can lead to cancer.
