Technical Bulletin No. 0659: Aquatic Life Water Quality Screening Values for Chlorinated Phenolic Compounds

The development of water quality screening values for twenty chlorinated phenolic compounds was undertaken. It was determined that sufficient data are not available to permit the development of true water quality criteria for most of these compounds. However, enough data are available to enable the establishment of chronic water quality screening values for most of the compounds, based significantly upon the use of results of recent studies using sensitive multiple life stage aquatic life assays, plus structure/activity relationships.
