Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)

High-Purity Reference Materials for Accurate Residue Analysis

Overview

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of organic compounds consisting of multiple aromatic rings. They are primarily formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter and are found in various environmental matrices such as air, water, soil, and food.

Uses

PAHs are used in research to study environmental contamination, human exposure, and health effects. They are also important in the monitoring of food safety and environmental health.

Regulatory

Regulations for PAHs are established by various international bodies to limit their presence in the environment and food products. These regulations ensure that PAH levels remain within safe limits to protect human health and the environment.

Monitoring

Monitoring PAHs involves sampling and analyzing air, water, soil, and food products. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their analytical results.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to PAHs can lead to various health issues, including respiratory problems, skin irritation, and increased risk of cancer. Long-term exposure is particularly concerning due to the potential for bioaccumulation and chronic health effects.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

PAHs can have detrimental effects on wildlife, including reproductive and developmental issues, increased mortality, and disruptions to ecosystems. They can bioaccumulate in the food chain, affecting various species.

Safety Measures

Implementing safety measures to limit PAH exposure includes using protective equipment, adhering to regulatory guidelines, and employing proper waste management practices to reduce emissions and contamination.

Regulation

Various regulatory agencies, such as the EPA and EU, have established guidelines and maximum allowable concentrations for PAHs in different matrices. These regulations are essential for protecting public health and the environment.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials are essential for the accurate analysis of PAHs in laboratories. HPC Standards GmbH provides high-quality reference materials that meet international quality requirements, ensuring reliable residue analysis for compliance with regulatory limits.
