Coronene

COR; Hexabenzobenzene; formula: C₂₄H₁₂; CAS Registry Number: 191-07-1

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with seven connected six-membered rings

Coronene occurs naturally in coal tar and in the mineral carpathite. Furtherore, it is a product of incomplete combustion.

In the atmosphere, it is adsorbed to particles and enters soils and surface waters through wet and dry deposition.

Coronene is mutagenic. Due to lack of data, carcinogenicity can not be evaluated.
