Retene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is found naturally in certain plants, fossil fuels, and combustion products. It serves as an important marker compound for assessing environmental pollution and studying the sources and fate of PAHs in various ecosystems. The presence of Retene in sediments, soil, air, or water can indicate past or current combustion processes and help identify the extent of contamination in affected areas. It is often used as a marker for softwood combustion.
