Product Information

• Name: 1-Methylfluoranthene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Methylfluoranthene is a dioxin that is found in wastewater. It has been shown to be toxic to humans and other organisms, as well as causing cancer. 1-Methylfluoranthene's toxicity may be due to its ability to activate the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) enzyme system, which increases the activity of carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene. This chemical may also cause genetic damage by binding with DNA and disrupting the replication process. The molecular weight of 1-methylfluoranthene is 154.18 g/mol and its melting point is -154 °C. Its boiling point is 308 °C. Its density is 0.836 g/cm3 at 20 °C and it has a refractive index of 1.547 at 20 °C. 1-Methylfluoranthene can
