Dibenzo[a,f]perylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of six fused benzene rings, with a molecular formula of C24H12. It is a black, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Dibenzo[a,f]perylene is formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as coal, oil, and wood, and is released into the environment as a byproduct of industrial processes and vehicle emissions. Due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity, it is classified as a priority pollutant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Exposure to dibenzo[a,f]perylene can lead to various health issues, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, and potential carcinogenic effects.
The CAS Registry Mumber 191-29-7 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,9 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 191-29: (5*1)+(4*9)+(3*1)+(2*2)+(1*9)=57 57 % 10 = 7 So 191-29-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
