Description

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
