What exactly is naphthalene?


Naphthalene is a white solid with a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon composed of two fused benzene rings.


 
Most of the naphthalene entering the environment is released directly to the air from sources such as burning of fossil fuels and use of naphthalene-containing mothballs. Other sources include urban air pollution and cigarette smoke.
