Benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon classified as a carcinogen and a mutagen. It may act to induce oxidative stress and cell death, and to interfere with the normal functioning of the immune system. Benzo[k]fluoranthene is a major component of diesel exhaust, cigarette smoke, and other combustion products. It is used as an optical sensor for nitro-aromatic compounds due to its affinity for fluorescence quenching.
