 |  | General Description | 9,10-Dimethylanthracene belongs to the class of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are generally used as potential starting materials for the synthesis of a variety of industrial chemicals. |  | Health Hazard | This compound caused lungs and skin tumorin mice at the site of application. Carcinogenicity in humans is unknown. It testedpositive in the histidine reversion–Amestest; the mammalian micronucleus test wasinconclusive. |  | Purification Methods | Purify 9,10-dimethylanthracene by crystallising from EtOH, and by recrystallising from the melt.
