The ubiquity of phenanthrene series, chrysene series compounds, perylene and retene compounds in the sediment indicated that PAHs mainly came from the terrestrial plants. 在样品中检测到角鲨烯,表明这一地区存在生物甲烷合成和细菌作用,具有生成油气及天然气水合物可能性。
Perylene or perilene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C20H12, occurring as a brown solid. It or its derivatives may be carcinogenic, and it is considered to be a hazardous pollutant. In cell membrane cytochemistry, perylene is used as a fluorescent lipid probe. It is the parent compound of a class of rylene dyes.
