Isomer-specific analysis and toxic evaluation of polychlorinated napthalenes in soil, sediment, and biota collected near the site of a former chlor-alkali plant

Article Abstract:

An examination of the accumulation of polychlorinated napthalene (PCN) chemical species in the biota and sediment exposed to the effluent of a chlor-alkali plant showed that the biota accumulated the PCN species tetra-or penta-chloronapthalenes, while the sediment showed a tendency to accumulate hepta- and octa-chloronapthalenes. The composition of PCN species were consistent with their formation in the chlor-alkali production process.
