Chrysene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its symmetrical structure, consisting of four condensed benzene rings. It is formed as a byproduct of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and industrial activities. Chrysene is primarily utilized in the production of other chemicals. It is found in coal tar and is also recognized for its role as a plant metabolite.
