Phenanthrene is one of a group of chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs. Phenanthrene is one of the most abundant PAHs found in continental shelf sediment of the South China Sea and is on the EPA’s Priority Pollutant list. Phenanthrene can affect different organisms through some potential mechanism such as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists, reproductive endocrine disruptor and photosynthesis stimulation. Phenanthrene is used in manufacturing dyestuffs and explosives and in biological research. Sources of phenanthrene include diesel fuel exhaust, coal tar pitch and tobacco smoke. Phenanthrene has been found in particle emissions from natural gas combustion and municipal incinerator waste, and in the particulates present in ambient air pollution near high vehicular traffic and industrial or urban areas.
