The mutagenic activities toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 and tumor initiating activities on mouse skin of the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), 2-methylBkF, 8-methylBkF, 9-methylBkF and 7,12-dimethylBkF were compared. (psu.edu)
In contrast, 5-80% of the total dissolved four- to six-ring PAHs were associated with the DOC rather than being freely dissolved, corresponding to DOC/water partitioning coefficients (K(DOC)) with log K(DOC) values ranging from 4.1 (for fluoranthene) to 5.6 (for benzo[ghi]perylene). (who.int)
Coconut, safflower, evening primrose, Benzo(b)fluoranthene (PubChem CID: 9153) and linseed oils marketed in São Paulo (Brazil) were investigated totaling 69 samples. (bvsalud.org)
Fluoranthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). (wikipedia.org)
This study reports on the effects of long-term exposure to the metals arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fluoranthene on the survival, growth, development and DNA methylation status of the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. (nerc.ac.uk)
Organic1
However, exposure to the organic chemical fluoranthene influenced DNA methylation patterns, suggesting wider remodelling of the epigenome for this chemical. (nerc.ac.uk)
Tumor1
Fluoranthene has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a group 3 carcinogen, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans"[1] , however it was found to possess carcinogenic properties in case of newborn mice according to short-term lung tumor assay (Busby et al. (wikipedia.org)
Products1
Traces of fluoranthene is found in many combustion products, along with other PAHs. (wikipedia.org)
Effect1
Fluoranthene had no effect on survival or the developmental period, but did significantly reduce growth rates at 800 mg/kg. (nerc.ac.uk)
Time1
Fluoranthene was shown, for the first time. (nerc.ac.uk)
PAHs6
Traces of fluoranthene is found in many combustion products, along with other PAHs. (wikipedia.org)
Fluoranthene is one of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 16 priority pollutant PAHs. (wikipedia.org)
Fluoranthene is one of 16 PAHs which were included in the list of Priority Pollutants by the U.S. EPA ( EPA-list ). (umweltprobenbank.de)
A simple dispersive solid phase micro-extraction (DSPME) based on activated carbon (AC) was performed for the determination and separation of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), namely phenanthrene and fluoranthene, in selected white, brown and parboiled rice samples. (uthm.edu.my)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including naphthalene, phenanthrene and fluoranthene are commonly found in wastewaters from refineries and biomass gasification industries. (manchester.ac.uk)
The substances already on the Priority Substances List but which would be subject to stricter standards are: Brominated diphenylethers, Fluoranthene, Nickel, Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs. (inem.org)
Phenanthrene and fluoranthene1
A maximum removal of 91.6%, 82.3% and 80.7% was achieved for naphthalene, phenanthrene and fluoranthene, respectively. (manchester.ac.uk)
Deposition1
Vapour-phase fluoranthene is subject to photodegradation whereas particle-phase fluoranthene may enter soils and waters through dry and wet deposition. (umweltprobenbank.de)
Exposure2
Methods: Using the National Enhanced Cancer Surveillance System (NECSS), a population-based case-control study conducted within eight of the Canadian provinces between 1994-1997, annual fluoranthene exposures were estimated using the GEM-MACH-PAH chemical transport model on the basis of geocoded residential histories throughout a 20-year exposure window. (queensu.ca)
Results: Positive associations were observed between long-term fluoranthene exposure and premenopausal breast cancer, with inconsistent findings for postmenopausal breast cancer. (queensu.ca)
Carcinogenic1
Fluoranthene has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a group 3 carcinogen, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans"[1] , however it was found to possess carcinogenic properties in case of newborn mice according to short-term lung tumor assay (Busby et al. (wikipedia.org)
Substances1
1984). In 2019, fluoranthene was added to the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) due to its persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) properties. (wikipedia.org)
Samples1
Fluoranthene in the black ink samples ranged from 0.03 to of 0.2 to 0.21 milligrams per gram. (cdc.gov)
