Acenaphthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that occurs naturally in coal tar and crude oil. It is also found in some industrial emissions and can be produced synthetically. Acenaphthene has been studied for its potential carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, although research indicates it has low toxicity. It is also used as a raw material in the production of various chemicals, including dyes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Due to its presence in environmental samples and its potential health effects, acenaphthene is a subject of ongoing research and monitoring.'
