7、,nalsoknownas3,4-benzopyrene or benzo-a-pyrene is a specific polycyclic aro-matic hydrocarbon(PAH)or polynuclear aromatic hydrocar-bon that consist of fused aromatic rings with no heteroatom orsubstituent.3.1.1.1 DiscussionPAHs naturally occur in oil,coal,andtar deposits;are produced by the incomple
8、te 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 black is Soxhlet-extracted withtoluene for 16 h.The extra
