Acute flow-through toxicity tests were conducted with 1 nin e chlorinated organic compounds and four species of freshwater organisms. Eight compounds (1 ,2-dichlorobenzene, 1 ,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-tirchlorobenzene,hexa­ ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as State agencies use regulatory authority to address the issue of environmental contaminants in commercially-marketed fish and fish products. The U.S. FDA has environmental ...

The completion of this fifth volume of Acute Toxicities of Organic Chemicals to Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas) marks a milestone for our QSAR research program. The five volumes contain original data from 777 ...

Over 60,000 chemicals exist in United States commerce (U.S. EPA, 1982). This inventory expands each year as 200 to l,000 new chemicals are advanced into commercial production (Muir, 1980). ...

Acute toxicity values for aquatic life continue to be useful for pre­liminary assessment of the potential for harm in the environment by chemicals. The end-point for an Lc50 (concentration of chemical necessary to kill ...

In this, the fourth volume of acute toxicity data on organic chemi­cals, we pay tribute to the species which has made this possible. The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is well suited to laboratory studies and was ...

The contents of the second volume of Acute Toxicities of Organic Chemicals to Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas} provide additional infor­mation for the ongoing development of an aquatic toxicology data ...

Acute and early life stage_ (ELS) toxicity tests were conducted with fathead minnows (Pimephales promela$) and seven chemicals: 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), 4,6-dinitro-o- cresol (DNOC), 2-sec -butyl--4,6-dinitrophenol ...
