High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Overview

Benzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is commonly found in substances resulting from incomplete combustion of organic matter. It is a known environmental pollutant and is often used as a marker for the presence of other PAHs.

Uses

Benzo[a]pyrene is primarily used in research and analytical laboratories to study its effects and presence in various environmental and food samples. It serves as a reference material for the calibration of analytical instruments and validation of analytical methods.

Regulatory

Regulatory agencies worldwide, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), have set strict limits on the allowable concentrations of Benzo[a]pyrene in food, water, and the environment due to its carcinogenic properties.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of Benzo[a]pyrene levels is essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are commonly used for its detection and quantification.

Health Impact

Benzo[a]pyrene is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Long-term exposure can lead to various health issues, including cancer, respiratory problems, and skin disorders.

Environmental Impact

Benzo[a]pyrene is persistent in the environment and can accumulate in soil and water bodies, posing a risk to aquatic life and terrestrial ecosystems. It can also enter the food chain, leading to bioaccumulation in higher trophic levels.

Safety Measure

Proper safety measures should be taken when handling Benzo[a]pyrene, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coats, and safety goggles. Adequate ventilation and proper waste disposal methods should also be implemented.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for Benzo[a]pyrene, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards, making them essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
