8、rms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 benzo-pyrene,BaP,nalsoknownas3,4-benzopyrene or benzo-a-pyrene is a specific polycyclic aro-matic hydrocarbon(PAH)or polynuclear aromatic hydrocar-bon that consists of fused aromatic rings with no heteroatom orsubstituent.3.1.1.1 DiscussionPAHs naturally occur in
9、oil,coal,andtar deposits;are produced by the incomplete combustion ofhydrocarbons;and occur in many other products and processes.BaP is a pentacyclic PAH with the formula C20H12,related topyrene by fusion of a phenylene group in the alpha position.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 A portion of carbon blac
