Pentachlorophenol hazards to fish, wildlife, and invertebrates: a synoptic review. Biological report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5764528
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is now widely used as a wood preservative; this use has contributed to the presence and detection of PCP residues in air, rain, ground water, surface water, fish and aquatic invertebrates, and human urine, blood, and milk. The report reviews the technical literature on ecological and toxicological aspects of PCP in the environment, with emphasis on fishery and wildlife resources. Subtopics include sources and uses, chemical properties, fate, background concentrations, lethal and sublethal effects, and current recommendations for resource protection.
