dc.description.abstract | Acenaphthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). It is a constituent of coal tar and other petroleum residues. The compound is used as a dye intermediate, as an insecticide and fungicide, and in the manufacture of plastics. The University of Wisconsin-Superior entered into a contract with Battelle Memorial Laboratories, Columbus, OH to conduct toxicity tests needed to fulfill the minimum data set necessary to derive National Water Quality Criteria. The acute exposure of duckweed (Lemna minor) to acenaphthene is one of the required tests. | en_US |
