High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Fluoranthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the molecular formula C₁₆H₁₀. It is a colorless solid that can be found in fossil fuels and their derivatives. Fluoranthene is one of the 16 PAHs that are considered priority pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Uses

Fluoranthene is primarily used in scientific research and environmental monitoring. It serves as a reference material in analytical chemistry for the calibration of instruments and validation of analytical methods.

Regulatory

Fluoranthene is regulated under various international guidelines due to its potential health and environmental impacts. It is listed as a priority pollutant by the EPA and is subject to monitoring and regulation under the European Union's Water Framework Directive.

Monitoring

Monitoring of fluoranthene levels is essential in environmental and food safety analyses. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their measurements, helping to maintain compliance with regulatory limits.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Exposure to fluoranthene can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. It has been shown to cause skin irritation and has potential carcinogenic effects. Long-term exposure can lead to more severe health issues.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

Fluoranthene can have detrimental effects on wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms. It is known to be toxic to fish and invertebrates, causing various forms of physiological stress and developmental abnormalities.

Safety Measure

Proper safety measures should be taken when handling fluoranthene. This includes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, as well as working in well-ventilated areas to minimize inhalation risks.

Regulation

Fluoranthene is regulated under several environmental protection laws and guidelines. These regulations aim to limit its release into the environment and ensure safe handling and disposal practices.
