AB  - INTRODUCTION: The ecological risks posed by three chlorophenols (CPs), 
      2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), and 
      pentachlorophenol (PCP) in Chinese surface waters were assessed. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: This was achieved by applying a tiered ecological risk assessment (ERA) 
      approach ranging from deterministic methods to probabilistic options to measured 
      concentrations of CPs in surface water of seven major watersheds and three 
      drainage regions in China and the chronic toxicity data for indigenous Chinese 
      species. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The results show that the risks of three 
      chlorophenols are ranked PCP>2,4-DCP approximately 2,4,6-TCP. PCP posed little ecological risk 
      while 2,4-DCP and 2,4,6-TCP posed negligible or de minimis risk in Chinese 
      surface water. However, the risks varied with different river basins, for 
      example, PCP posed some ecological risk in the Yangtze, Huaihe, and Pearl Rivers. 
      The magnitude of 2,4-DCP and 2,4,6-TCP pollution in North China was more serious 
      than that in South China. CONCLUSION: The probabilistic risk assessment approach, 
      which can provide more information for risk managers and decision makers, was 
      favored over the screening-level single-value estimate method. However, the 
      results from all tiers of the ERA methods in the framework were consistent with 
      each other.
