Objective Together with the nitro PAHs, the oxygenated derivatives are considered to be amongst the major sources of potential carcinogens. More than 50 oxygenated PAHs have been detected, eg in the gaseous effluents from the combustion of brown coal briquettes. PAHs present in drinking water may react with ozone to form oxidized compounds if the conditions of ozonation used for the purification of water are not well controlled. The preparation of a limited number of pure oxygenated PAHs has been undertaken because such compounds are not readily available elsewhere. RESULTS The purity of 7 oxygenated PAHs have been certified as follows: - CRM 337: Dibenzo(b,d) furan 99.0% - CRM 338: 4H-Cyclopenta(def)phenanthrene-4-one 99.58% - CRM 339: 6H-Benzo(c,d)pyren-6-one 98.9% - CRM340: Benzo(b)naphto(1,2-d)furan 99.7% - CRM341: Benzo(b)naphto(2,1-d)furan 99.64% - CRM342: Benzo(a)fluorenone 99.79% - CRM 347: 3-Hydroxybenzo(c)pyrene 99.4% Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwater treatment processesdrinking water treatment processesengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfossil energycoalnatural scienceschemical sciencesorganic chemistryhydrocarbons Programme(s) FP2-BCR 4 - Research and development programme (EEC) in the field of applied metrology and chemical analysis (Community Bureau of Reference - BCR), 1988-1992 Topic(s) Data not available Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator FEDERAL INSTITUTE FOR MATERIAL RESEARCH AND TESTING EU contribution No data Address 87,Unter der Eichen 87 12205 BERLIN Germany See on map Total cost No data Participants (11) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Biochemisches Institut für Umweltcarcinogene Germany EU contribution No data Address Sieker Landstraße 19 22926 Ahrensburg See on map Total cost No data Centre d'Etudes et Recherches des Charbonnages de France (CERCHAR) France EU contribution No data Address 60550 Verneuil-en-Halatte See on map Total cost No data Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) Italy EU contribution No data Address Roma See on map Total cost No data Head of the Unit of Foodborne Zoonoses and Veterinary Epidemiology Italy EU contribution No data Address Viale Regina Elena 299 00161 Rome See on map Links Website Opens in new window Total cost No data INSTITUT CURIE France EU contribution No data Address See on map Links Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Microtest Research Ltd United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Heslington YO1 5DD York See on map Total cost No data National Physical Laboratory (NPL) United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Queen's Road TW11 0LW Teddington See on map Total cost No data Riso National Laboratory Denmark EU contribution No data Address See on map Total cost No data Studiecentrum voor Kernenergie Belgium EU contribution No data Address Mol See on map Total cost No data TNO-ITC Netherlands EU contribution No data Address Zeist See on map Total cost No data Union Technique de l'Automobile du Motocycle et du Cycle France EU contribution No data Address Autodrome de Linas 91310 Monthlhéry See on map Total cost No data
