Toxicity of Toluene to Several Freshwater Species
(1986-12)
Toluene is methylated benzene and obtained mainly from tar oil. It has many common uses as a solvent and in the manufacture of benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, explosives, dyes and many other organic compounds. Toluene behaves ...
TOXICITY OF PHENANTHRENE TO SEVERAL FRESHWATER SPECIES
(1986-12)
Phenanthrene is a by-product of fossil fuel combusion. It is a constituent of coal tars and has
been detected in the stack gases of both oil- and coal-fired
power and manufacturing plants. The purpose of this study ...
ACUTE TOXICITY OF ACENAPHTHENE TO DUCKWEED
(1986-07)
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 ...
TOXICITY OF ALUMINUM TO FRESHWATER ORGANISMS IN WATER OF pH 6.5 - 8.5
(1982)
Most studies on the toxicity of aluminum (Al) to aquatic life have been conducted in acidic waters, due to concerns centered around surface water acidification. Fewer studies have been ...
