Crucial Facts About PAH Phenanthrene

Phenanthrene is on the EPA's priority pollutant list. It is a colorless, crystal-like solid but can also look yellow.

PAH Phenanthrene is a contaminant in the air, is widely distributed in the aquatic environment and has been identified in surface water, tap water, wastewater, and dried lake sediments. It has also been identified in seafood collected from contaminated waters and in smoked and charcoal-broiled foods.

Human exposure results primarily from ingestion of food contaminated with phenanthrene and through the skin.

Some of the known sources of phenanthrene in the atmosphere are vehicular emissions, coal and oil burning, wood combustion, coke plants, aluminum plants, iron and steel works, foundries, municipal incinerators, synfuel plants, and oil shale plants.

Phenanthrene can be used in the manufacture of dyestuffs, explosives, drugs, and in biochemical research.
