Concerned About PAH Anthracene? Get the Facts

Evidence indicates that PAH anthracene is absorbed following oral and dermal exposure.

Anthracene has been identified in surface and drinking water, ambient air, exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines, smoke of cigarettes and cigars, and in smoked foods and edible aquatic organisms.

Dermatologic effects have been observed from anthracene exposure, with symptoms of burning, itching, and edema.

Additionally, anthracene has also been associated with headache, nausea, loss of appetite, inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, slow reactions, and weakness.

Anthracene is often found in the aquatic environment. It has been detected in run off waters, in surface water and sediments, in groundwater, and in drinking water. The detection of anthracene in drinking waters throughout the world have been reported.
