Coronene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon found in smoked fish and was examined for potential toxic and carcinogenic effects.
ChEBI: A ortho- and peri-fused polycyclic arene that consists of six peri-fused benzene rings.

evaluation of the carcinogenicity of coronene to experimental
animals.
Crystallise coronene from *benzene or toluene, then sublime it in a vacuum. [Beilstein 5 III 2651.]
