Effects of halogenated organic compounds on photosynthesis in estuarine phytoplankton

;
In a study of chlorinated seawater, eighteen organic compounds generated by chlorination were identified. Due to rapid substitution of bromine for chlorine, brominated rather than chlorinated by-products are formed. The effects of these chlorinated by-products on estuarine phytoplankton are not known. Experiments in this study examined singly the effects of fifteen commerically available compounds on photosynthesis by estuarine phytoplankton.
