2-Nitrofluoranthene (Cat No.: M060385) is a nitro-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derived from fluoranthene, with a nitro group at the 2-position. It is a yellow crystalline solid commonly formed as a byproduct of incomplete combustion processes, such as diesel exhaust and industrial emissions. Known for its environmental persistence, 2-nitrofluoranthene is studied for its mutagenic and carcinogenic potential. It serves as a model compound in environmental toxicology and atmospheric chemistry, aiding in the assessment of PAH-related pollution and its biological and ecological impacts.
