Occurence and safety

Benzo[ghi]perylene occurs naturally in crude oil and coal tar. It is a product of incomplete combustion and is found in tobacco smoke, automobile exhausts, industrial emissions, grilled meat products and edible oils. In the atmosphere, it is adsorbed to particles and is deposited into the soil and water.[1]

The compound accumulates strongly in organisms and the environment, and is suspected to be mutagenic and carcinogenic. It is one of 16 PAHs included in the EPA list of priority pollutants.

gollark: They aren't forums with no registration, they're forums running over a more constrained and somewhat unpleasant transport.
gollark: UI is constrained by the interfaces email actually provides.
gollark: They are particularly apious to search and the UI is not ideal.
gollark: I find actual forum-type things easier, yes.
gollark: No.
