| | 1,8-DINITROPYRENE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | 1,8-Dinitropyrene is a nitro-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that exists at room temperature as a yellow fluffy or light-brown crystalline solid (IARC 1989). It has a molecular weight of 292.3 and a melting point of over 300°C (HSDB 2009). | | Uses | 1,8-Dinitropyrene has been reported to be a photosensitizer; however,there is no evidence that it has ever been used commercially for this or any other purpose (IARC 1989). 1,8-Dinitropyrene is available for research purposes at a purity of at least 99% and in 14C- or 3H-labeled form at a radiochemical purity of at least 98%. | | Uses | 1,8-Dinitropyrene is one of the major mutagens found in contaminated sediments. Also a potential human carcinogen. | | Definition | ChEBI: 1,8-Dinitropyrene is a member of pyrenes. | | General Description | The photodecomposition of environmental contaminant, 1,8-dinitropyrene via exposure to light (≥ 310nm) either in DMSO, or following coating onto silica has been investigated. 1,8-Dinitropyrene is a potent mutagenic component of diesel exhaust and air pollutant. | | Safety Profile | Confirmed carcinogen
with experimental carcinogenic data. Human
mutation data reported. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx | | Carcinogenicity | 1,8-Dinitropyrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals. |
