2-Nitrofluoranthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been identified as a potential environmental contaminant. It is formed as a byproduct of incomplete combustion processes, such as those occurring in coal-fired power plants and diesel engines. Research on 2-nitrofluoranthene has focused on its potential health effects, particularly its mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Studies have shown that 2-nitrofluoranthene can induce DNA damage and mutations in various cell types, raising concerns about its potential contribution to cancer risk. The compound has also been found to be a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in the detoxification of various substances in the body. Due to its presence in environmental samples and its potential health effects, 2-nitrofluoranthene is an important subject of ongoing research to understand its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential risks to human health.'
