However,
acenaphthene was found at levels 295% of that released from a regular cigarette and its effects on human health are not known.
Due to their toxicity to humans, the following 17 compounds are most frequently determined:
acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(e)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, chrysene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, fluoranthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): Naphthalene, acenaphthylene,
acenaphthene, phenanthrene, fluorene, anthracene, pyrene, chrysene (internal standard (i.s)), benzo(a)anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene.
