Documented Uses

• Used to make dyestuffs, explosives, phenanthrenequinone, and drugs; [Hawley]
• Dyestuffs, explosives, synthesis of drugs, biochemical research, manufacturing phenanthrenequinone.
• Phenanthrene forms the basis for production of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone and 2,2'-diphenic acid. It can be used to synthesize anthracene via the isomerization product of sym-octahydrophenanthrene
• PAHs are released into the environment via the combustion of fossil fuels, coke oven emissions and vehicle exhausts, as well as naturally from forest fires and volcanic eruptions. PAHs from these sources may contaminate nearly water systems. They are also found in coal tar and charbroiled food. (L10)
