PAH Benzo(k)fluoranthene - How It Affects You

Benzo(k)fluoranthene is an EPA Priority Pollutant. Heavier PAHs, like this one, are more persistent than the lighter PAHs and tend to have a greater carcinogenic impact.

Benzo(k)fluoranthene's release into air and water is quite general since it is a product of incomplete combustion. On land it is strongly absorbed to soil.

Benzo(k)fluoranthene will get into surface water from dust and precipitation in addition to runoff and effluents.

It has been detected in mainstream cigarette smoke, gasoline engine exhaust, emissions from burning coal and from oil-fired heating, lubricating oils, used motor oils, crude oils, and in soils, surface waters, and groundwater at hazardous waste sites.

Eating food and drinking water contaminated with products of combustion is another form of exposure.

It is a contaminant of concern in drains and wet ponds in urban residential and commercial areas.
