2-Methylbenzo[a]pyrene（Cat No.:M074725） is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound, a member of the benzo[a]pyrene family with a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the aromatic ring. This compound is formed by the methylation of benzo[a]pyrene, a potent carcinogen found in tobacco smoke, grilled meats, and vehicle exhaust. 2-Methylbenzo[a]pyrene exhibits similar carcinogenic properties, contributing to the mutagenic and carcinogenic effects associated with PAH exposure.
