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

Overview

Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of four fused benzene rings, resulting in a flat aromatic system. The chemical formula is C₁₆H₁₀. This yellow-green solid is formed during the incomplete combustion of organic compounds.

Pyrene was first isolated from coal tar, where it occurs up to 2% by weight. It is more resonance-stabilized than its five-member-ring containing isomer fluoranthene, making it a common byproduct in various combustion conditions, such as automobile emissions.

Uses

Pyrene and its derivatives are used commercially to produce dyes and dye precursors, such as pyranine and naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic acid. Pyrene is also employed as a molecular probe in fluorescence spectroscopy due to its high quantum yield and lifetime.

Regulatory

Pyrene is subject to various environmental regulations due to its presence in emissions and potential health impacts. Laboratories conducting residue analysis for regulatory compliance require high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate measurements.

Monitoring

Monitoring pyrene levels in environmental and food samples is crucial for compliance with regulatory limits. Accurate and reliable reference materials are essential for laboratories to perform these analyses.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Although less problematic than benzopyrene, pyrene has been shown to be toxic to the kidneys and liver in animal studies. It is known to affect several biological functions in fish and algae.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Pyrene affects various living organisms, including fish and algae. Its biodegradation has been extensively studied, starting with dihydroxylation at specific CH=CH linkages.

Safety Measures

Handling pyrene requires adherence to safety guidelines to prevent exposure. It is classified as an irritant, and appropriate precautions should be taken during its use.

Regulation

Pyrene is regulated under various environmental and health safety standards. Laboratories must use certified reference materials for accurate analysis to meet these regulatory requirements.

Analytical Standards
