Phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in fossil fuels and generated through the incomplete combustion of organic matter. It is recognized as an environmental pollutant. Characterized by its three fused benzene rings, phenanthrene is prepared through the Bardhan-Sengupta phenanthrene synthesis method. It exhibits properties such as low volatility, high toxicity, and resistance to microbial biodegradation.
