CRMs for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
July 17th, 2024
What are Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and why are they important to test for? AccuStandard offers an extensive line of neats, single component solutions and multi-component solutions for monitoring PAHs and Derivatives.
What Are Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)?
PAHs are Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) formed when two or more single aromatic ring compounds are exposed to high heat and/or pressure and fuse to form a more complex, multiple aromatic compound molecule. This process occurs from the incomplete combustion of coal, crude oil, asphalt and gasoline, commonly originating from industrial and vehicle emissions. The bioaccumulation of PAHs in air, soil, and water is harmful to humans and wildlife and exposure to these compounds is linked to serious health risks, including cancer.
Accurate monitoring of PAH levels is crucial for environmental assessments, regulatory compliance, and public health protection. AccuStandard has compiled an extensive inventory of PAH reference standards including Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for Deuterated PAHs, Methylated PAHs, and Nitro-PAHs.
