benzo(A)pyrene-D12

Description:
Benzo(a)pyrene-D12 is a deuterated form of benzo(a)pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) known for its carcinogenic properties. The "D12" designation indicates that twelve hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which enhances its utility in analytical chemistry, particularly in tracing and quantification studies. This compound is typically used as an internal standard in mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques to improve the accuracy of measurements of benzo(a)pyrene in environmental samples. Benzo(a)pyrene itself is a solid at room temperature, with a high melting point and low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents. Its structure consists of five fused aromatic rings, contributing to its stability and persistence in the environment. Due to its potential health risks, including mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, benzo(a)pyrene-D12 is handled with caution in laboratory settings, adhering to safety protocols to mitigate exposure.
