Dibenzo[a, i]pyrene (Cat No.:R057738) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound that is formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter. It is a potent environmental carcinogen and mutagen, classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Dibenzo[a, i]pyrene is found in tobacco smoke, vehicle exhaust, and various combustion processes. Prolonged exposure to this compound is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly lung and skin cancers. Efforts to minimize exposure to dibenzo[a, i]pyrene are important for public health and environmental protection.
