NG28 provides PAHs testing services for products and raw materials, helping enterprises reduce the risk of violation of regulations and enter the international market successfully.
? Service Background
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrocarbons with two or more benzene rings linked together. Up to now, more than 200 PAHs compounds have been found.
PAHs are a kind of hazardous substances formed by incomplete combustion or high temperature treatment of fuels such as petroleum and coal, wood and combustible gases. They are usually found in petrochemical products, rubber, plastics, lubricants, anti-rust oil, incomplete combustion organic compounds, etc., and are a series of the important carcinogens in the environment.
Many regulations, such as EU REACH, German GS mark certification, have set PAHs control requirements in products.
