Description

Benzo(j)fluoranthene (B(j)F) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in the environment. It is typically formed during incomplete combustion processes, such as coal burning, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhaust. B(j)F is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It has been shown to induce DNA damage and mutations in various cell types. Research on B(j)F focuses on its environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential health effects. Studies aim to understand its sources, transport pathways, and levels in different environmental compartments. This information helps in assessing the risks associated with B(j)F exposure and developing strategies for its mitigation.'
