1-Nitropyrene-d9

1-Nitropyrene-d9 is a deuterated derivative of 1-nitropyrene, which is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is formed during incomplete combustion of organic material. It is a yellow crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 239.3 g/mol and a melting point of 116-117 °C. 1-Nitropyrene-d9 is commonly used as an internal standard in analytical chemistry for the quantification of 1-nitropyrene in various environmental matrices. Its deuterated nature allows for accurate and precise quantification by mass spectrometry without interference from other compounds in the sample. Studies have shown that 1-nitropyrene is a potent mutagen and a probable human carcinogen. It can be found in air pollution, cigarette smoke, and charbroiled food. Therefore, accurate quantification of 1-nitropyrene in environmental samples is important for assessing potential health risks and developing strategies for reducing exposure. In conclusion, 1-Nitropyrene-d9 is a useful analytical tool for the quantification of 1-nitropyrene in various environmental matrices. Its deuterated nature allows for accurate and precise quantification by mass spectrometry. As 1-nitropyrene is a potent mutagen and probable human carcinogen, accurate quantification is important for assessing potential health risks and developing strategies for reducing exposure.
