NCIt definition : A synthetic solid appearing as chrome-red crystals or orange-yellow to light-yellow
needles that is slightly soluble in acetic acid, cold ethanol, diethyl ether, benzene,
and carbon disulfide, and soluble in hot nitrobenzene. It is not used for any commercial
applications and is used only for research purposes, principally as an internal standard
in the chemical analysis of nitroarenes. The primary route of potential human exposure
to 6-nitrochrysene is inhalation. Low concentrations of this chemical have been found
in ambient airborne particulates. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
