PAH Acenaphthene - The Facts You Should Know
PAH Acenaphthene is a toxic pollutant. This compound is on the EPA's priority
pollutant list.
Acenaphthene occurs in coal tar produced during the high
temperature carbonization or coking of coal. It is used as a dye intermediate in
the manufacture of some plastics and as an insecticide and
fungicide.
Acenaphthene is an environmental pollutant and has been
detected in cigarette smoke, automobile exhausts, and urban air; in effluents
from petrochemical, pesticide, and wood preservative industries; and in soils,
groundwater, and surface waters at hazardous waste sites.
Acenaphthene is
widely distributed in the environment and is transported as absorbed matter on
particulates suspended in air or water.
Acenaphthene was found in
groundwater at a coal and oil gasification plant some 30 years after the plant
shut down.
