6PPD-Quinone Standards
Protect aquatic ecosystems with our 6PPD quinone standards. 6PPD quinone, derived from an organic chemical used as a rubber stabilizer in tires, acts as an antioxidant and antiozonant. When it reacts with atmospheric ozone, 6PPD converts to 6PPD quinone, which may run into waterways, impacting streams and lakes. While its full effects on human health remain unclear, a 2021 study in Science linked short-term 6PPD quinone exposure to coho salmon mortality. Our standards are compatible with Draft EPA Method 1634, helping to monitor and mitigate this environmental toxin. Explore our new standards to better understand and address 6PPD quinone risks.
