Description

General description

Fluoranthene (FA) belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are typically generated due to the incomplete burning of organic materials in the presence of oxygen in insufficient quantities. FA is regarded as an environmental indicator and is mainly used in simulation studies. It is also used in the development of a fluorescent chemosensor for the determination of explosive nitroaromatic compounds.[1]

This compound is listed in the SVHC (Substances of very high concern) candidate list of ECHA (European Chemicals Agency)

Application

FA may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in food samples, oils, fats, and environmental samples by various chromatography techniques.[2][3]
