Uses
IARC (1983) reported that no commercial uses or applications were known for dibenzo[a,h]pyrene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene, and 5-methylchrysene. The remaining twelve listed PAHs are used only in biochemical, biomedical, laboratory, or cancer research (HSDB 2009). At least five of the listed PAHs are present in coal tar, which is used as a fuel in the steel industry in open-hearth and blast furnaces (HSDB 2009). Coal tar is also used in the clinical treatment of skin disorders such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Coal tar is distilled to produce a variety of products, including coal-tar pitch and creosote. At least two of the listed PAHs are present in coal-tar pitch, which is used primarily as a binder for aluminum smelting electrodes in the aluminum reduction process. Coal-tar pitch is also used in roofing, in surface coatings, for pitch-coke production, and for a variety of other applications (IARC 1985). At least two of the listed PAHs are found in creosote, which is used to preserve railroad ties, marine pilings, and telephone poles. Some creosote is used for fuel by steel producers (NIOSH 1977). At least three of the listed PAHs are present in bitumens and asphalt, which are used for paving roads, sound- and water-proofing, and coating pipes. 5-Methylchrysene is one of the methylated chrysenes (MeChry), as an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist. Methylated chrysenes (MeChry) are important cigarette smoke constituents and 5-MeChry has been listed as possibly carcinogenic to humans. 5-Methylchrysene is a possible carcinogenic agent.
