Abstract
The “Environmental Hazard Profile” test scheme is described and relative bioaccumulation and biodegradation rates of approximately 100 chemicals belonging to various classes are given. Additional accumulation and degradation rates are given for representative benzene, benzoic acid, and phenol derivatives, and for selected aromatic amines, chlorobenzenes, and chlorobiphenyls. The “sphere fragmentation” of chemicals is shown on the examples of 3-methylbenzoic acid and acetaldehyde. The effects of 2, 4, 6-trichloro- and pentachlorophenol on the biota of outdoor experimental ponds are described.
