Description

Dibenzo(a,h)pyrene (DBP) is a potent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been extensively studied due to its significant carcinogenic properties. It is commonly found in environmental samples, particularly in coal tar, diesel exhaust, and cigarette smoke. DBP is formed through incomplete combustion of organic materials and can be absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. Its potent carcinogenicity is attributed to its ability to bind to DNA, leading to mutations and ultimately cancer development. Research on DBP focuses on understanding its mechanisms of action, its environmental distribution and fate, and developing strategies for its prevention and remediation. While DBP is not commercially synthesized, its presence as a contaminant in various industrial processes and environmental samples makes it a critical subject of study in toxicology and environmental science.'
