Application
1-Nitropyrene is a synthetic, light-sensitive crystalline compound, mainly serving as a critical research tool for studying exposure to nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly from diesel exhaust. As the most abundant nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emitted from diesel engines, 1-Nitropyrene holds significant importance due to its potent carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. It is primarily utilized in scientific investigations and analysis, offering insights into the health impacts of air pollution from combustion sources. The compound is a byproduct of incomplete combustion, found in both stationary sources and vehicle exhaust fumes. Although 1-Nitropyrene is not used commercially, it is available in various purities for research, enhancing understanding of its role as a carcinogenic agent and its potential utility as a chemical photosensitizer.
