"In this paper we rank the environmental hazard of eight chemicals, Disulfoton, Dinitroorthocresol, Propetamphos, Thiometon, Parathion, Etriaphos, Metoxuron and Fenitrothion found in the German section of the Rhine River. Five attributes related to the toxicity, physico-chemical characteristics and fate are used to rank the chemicals. Results by two ranking methods show that these chemicals can be divided into two groups, the most hazardous include Dinitroorthocresol, Propetamphos and Parathion, and the least hazardous include Disulfoton, Thiometon, Etriaphos, Metoxuron and Fenitrothion"--Abstract.
