It amazes me why the law allows the rampant use and continued installation of these highly toxic Benzo-A Pyrene emitters AKA wood-stoves in urban settings. What a sickening farce
Mmmmmmmm... I can just smell the dioxins, furans, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and benzo(a)pyrene.
Thrilled to share our new work in RSC JMC A! 🎉 We've developed an Pyrene-integrated BINOL-based PAF for sacrificial agent-free H2O2 production and impressive uranium(VI) photo removal via 1O2 pathway. So proud of the team! 🔬✨ Check it out: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…@POP_Papers
Hércules tuvo una gran relación con España. En su décimo trabajo debía robar el ganado del gigante Gerión, supuestamente afincado en nuestro país. Además, según el mito, el héroe separó el norte de África y España y enterró a Pyrene bajo los Pirineos.

Thrilled to share that our paper using pyrene-4,5-dione as versatile visible-light photocatalyst has been featured as the Front Cover of ACS Organic & Inorganic Au! 🎉
A huge thanks to coauthors Joe Anslow and @NanciGardenpubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…@ACSPublications#MyACSCover
It definitely depends on the breed, and their lifestyle.
I had a pyrene that surprised everyone by living to be 15 years old. My daughter's yorkie didn't make it past 9.
Mechanically Interlocked Carbon Nanotubes―The synthesis of mechanically interlocked carbon #nanotube (MINT) derivatives relies on a templating step in which macrocycle precursors adsorb onto single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), yet the underlying molecular-level details remain poorly understood. In a recent article in @J_A_C_S, da Silva, Calbo, Ortí, Pérez, et al. investigate the binding affinities of a series of U-shaped macrocyclic precursors with varying aromatic content, ranging from rigid pyrene and anthraquinone units to more flexible diphenylmethane linkers. Their results provide key insights into how #aromaticity and conformational flexibility govern adsorption strength on SWCNT surfaces, establishing molecular design rules for optimizing precursor preorganization and improving the efficiency of MINT formation.

@CharnwoodStoves nobody needs a Benzene A Pyrene incinerator blowing poisons into the yards of neighbors day after day. Heating is for health, but stoves/health are mutually exclusive.
Ok stokers
Explain to me how a new stove installation with no visible smoke, installed in a wealthy house, next to a kindergarten is open for debate when it reeks like Benzo(A)Pyrene a class 1 carcinogen? That is exactly what I witnessed today. TESTED?

Pyrene Raid convierte la Jacetania en territorio de la aventura más salvaje | Cerca de 90 equipos venidos de toda la geografía y varios países europeos (Finlandia, Estonia, Francia, Países Bajos…) se dieron cita en esta nueva edición que tras dos años disputándose en el Valle de Tena trasladó este 2026 su sede a Jaca y la comarca de la Jacetania, con especial presencia de los paisajes del Valle de Hecho.

Definitely need to #BanDiesel But we won't get cleaner air until "Ultra Low Emission" applies to all pollution sources. Most of London's toxic PM2.5 & Benzo[a]Pyrene pollution is now from completely unnecessary solid fuel burning. @tobyperkinsmp@BarryGardiner@HoCcommitteesUK
Hope this will cover Benzo[a]pyrene in stoves permitted in SCAs (Ecodesign Adv)@DrGaryFuller@tobyperkinsmp@BarryGardiner These deadly appliances now contribute >50% of all carcinogenic BaP in UK. "Modern" stoves pollute differently, not better. Hence ASA ruling against the SIA.
"Utilizing ADMET Predictor™, a computational programme to predict carcinogenicity and genotoxicity, 197 of the identified 306 chemicals met our a prior carcinogenicity criteria.
Of these, 52 chemicals were also classified as known, presumed or suspected carcinogens by the US EPA and ECHA."

"Importantly, the majority of crumb rubber constituents were not listed in the US EPA (n=207) and ECHA (n=262) databases, likely due to an absence of evaluation or insufficient information for a reliable carcinogenicity classification.
By employing a cancer hazard scoring system to the chemicals which were predicted and classified by the computational analysis and government databases, several high priority carcinogens were identified, including benzene, benzidine, benzo(a)pyrene, trichloroethylene and vinyl chloride."
