| Abstract | The acute toxicity (96-hr median lethal concentrations (LC50s) of ten chlorinated isomers of benzene, phenol, ethane, and ethylene to the American flagfish (Jordanella floridae) were determined in both static and flow-through systems. Chronic toxicity to embryo-larval fish was also estimated from hatching success and post-hatch survival as well as fry growth rates and survival. Maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations (MATC) were estimated where possible. In general, for both acute and chronic toxicity tests, the order of increasing relative toxicity based on the water-borne exposure concentrations was: chloroethanes, chloroethylenes, chlorobenzenes, and chlorophenols. Within groups, more highly chlorinated isomers were usually more toxic. The presence of suspended or colloidal 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene was observed in acute toxicity testing and affected toxicity estimates. |
