Objectives: The study investigated the utility of unmetabolised naphthalene (Nap) and phenanthrene (Phe) in urine as surrogates for exposures to mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

The substance is phenanthrene, one of many chemicals known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in crude oil. It is described as a "pervasive global pollutant" in the study.
