Presented in the format of an annotated bibliography are 950 references dealing with the environmental impact of chemical discharges associated with power plant cooling systems. The references were extracted from the open literature for the period up to the fall of 1977 and from environmental reports and impact statements prepared for or by the electric utility industry. The topics covered pertain to currently used and potential biofouling control methods (chemical, thermal, mechanical); environmental effects of metals, corrosion inhibitors, and special use compounds released in cooling waters; and site-specific effects of chemical discharges on water quality and aquatic communities. The references are arranged by subject category, and indexes are provided to authors' names, keywords, scientific names of test organisms, geographic location of field research, and AIF accession numbers.
