User talk:Miffyz92/Phenanthrene
Nataliea2000 (talk) 17:38, 29 September 2020 (UTC)The article mentions that it is an irritant, I am assuming to the skin because they go on to say it is photosensitizing. Needs additional toxicity effects. Article can expand upon where phenanthrene is used and if any adverse historical events have occurred regarding its use.
Nataliea2000 (talk) 02:49, 3 October 2020 (UTC)One thing to note about the Wikipedia page is that the first few sentences are essentially copied from pubchem.com. These sentences need to be reworded, the information is strong but nearly identical to pubchem.com. Apparently, phenanthrene is a polycyclic hydrocarbon or PAH. Individually PAHs are not extensively studied. A likely but not observed carcinogen.
