Alkylated PAHs

More toxic than Benzo(a)pyrene ?

6-Methyl-benzo(a)pyrene

Toxicologists affirm that! Many diverse lists circulate suggesting Toxicity Equivalency Factors (TEFs), following the Dioxine TEFs. All of them consistently endorsed Benzo(a)pyrene with the factor of 1. But in contrast to the dioxins (top factor 1 for 2378-TCDD), in case of the PAHs there are some derivatives showing higher factors (partially up to 20), e.g. alkylated components.

Our analytical portfolio comprises methylated/alkylated Naphthalines, Phenanthrenes, Pyrenes and Anthracenes as well as 6-Methyl-benzo(a)pyren (see picture).
