Fluoranthene is an organic compound belonging to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) family. It is one of the most widely studied PAHs due to its ubiquity in the environment and its potential toxicity. It is a common constituent of crude oil, coal tar, and cigarette smoke. It is also found in combustion products from motor vehicles, power plants, and industrial processes. Fluoranthene has been used in scientific research for its ability to act as a biomarker for environmental exposure and as an indicator of air quality. It has also been used in studies of the biodegradation of Fluoranthenes in soil and water.
