Chlorinated aromatic compounds : Microtox test results and structure-toxicity relationships / Juan M. Ribo.: En37-169/1985E-PDF

"The toxic effects of chlorosubstituted benzenes, phenols, anilines, nitrobenzenes and pyridines to the luminescent bacteria Photobacterium phosphoreume have been determined using the Microtox test. Quantitative relationships between these toxicity values and certain compound specific structural parameters make it possible to develop a mathematical model for the prediction of their toxicities to aquatic biota. The dependance of the test results on variables such as temperature, pH, exposure time, age of the bacteria culture, etc., are discussed as well as the correlations of the Microtox values with the effects of these compounds on other organisms which are commonly used for aquatic toxicity studies"--Abstract, page 2.
