6PPD-Quinone as an Environmental Toxicant for Urban Runoff and Toxicity Studies
Share
6PPD-Quinone (6PPD-Q) is an environmental toxicant formed when 6PPD, an antioxidant widely used in automobile tires in urban areas, undergoes oxidation in the environment. It has been identified as acutely lethal to coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch).¹) Recent studies have reported that even low concentrations of 6PPD-quinone in urban runoff can cause sudden death in salmon,²)³) drawing significant attention in urban runoff impact assessment and ecotoxicological studies. Long-term risks, such as potential effects on non-target organisms through the food chain, are also of concern. This chemically synthesized product ensures reproducibility and reliability of experimental data, making it highly suitable for HPLC analysis and toxicity research.
