Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) will be included in the REACH candidate list of substances of high concern

2009-09-16

Coal tar pitch and related petroleum distillate has been included in the registration list, intended that such substances may be included in the authorized list of candidates. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coal tar pitch and petroleum distillates in the percentage of higher levels. Therefore, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is to assess whether the use of industrial products, an important indicator of tar and oil.

For "the candidate list of substances of high concern," and the subsequent "Chemicals Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction" (REACH) Annex 14, coal tar and related oil distillate is the intention of the list of important material base. Coal tar, distillates and other petroleum-related organic materials, the production of industrial products for the following: plasticizers, adhesives, additives, mold additives and lubricants.

As an important component, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the incomplete combustion or directly present in the distillation components, such as: anthracene oil.

In addition, incomplete combustion can cause the release of the material, the release of the material being absorbed by other solid materials can cause environmental pollution and harm human health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in itself is not carcinogenic substances, but its derivative substances harmful to human beings.
