Fluoranthene is a polycyclic ambrosial hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of a naphthalene and a benzene assemblage
affiliated by a five-membered ring. It is a affiliate of the chic of PAHs accepted as non-alternant PAHs
because it has rings added than those with six carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of the alternant PAH
pyrene. It is not as thermodynamically abiding as pyrene because its electrons cannot bell throughout the
complete anatomy like the agnate ones in pyrene.
Fluoranthene is begin in abounding agitation products, forth with added PAHs. Its attendance is an indicator
of beneath able or lower-temperature combustion, back non-alternant PAHs are beneath adopted in accumulation
than alternant PAHs. Fluoranthene is one of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 16 antecedence
pollutant PAHs. Fluoranthene has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a
accumulation 3 carcinogen, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans" , about it was begin to
acquire baleful backdrop in case of bairn mice according to concise lung bump appraisal (Busby et al., 1984).
Fluoranthene has been abandoned from atramentous tar pitch. Its name is acquired from its fluorescence beneath
UV light.
