TI  - Probabilistic ecological risk assessment for three chlorophenols in surface 
      waters of China.
PG  - 329-34
AB  - Individual and combined assessment of risks of adverse effects to aquatic 
      ecosystems of three chlorophenols (CPs), including 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 
      2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP), were conducted. A 
      probabilistic approach based on the concentrations of CPs in surface waters of 
      China was used to determine the likelihood of adverse effects. The potential risk 
      of CPs in surface waters of China was determined to be of concern, especially PCP 
      and mixtures of CPs. The risks of adverse effects were examined as the joint 
      probabilities of exposure and response. The joint probability for PCP was 0.271 
      in the worst case and 0.111 in the median case, respectively. Based on the 
      cumulative probability, 5% of aquatic organisms included in the assessment would 
      be affected 21.36% of the time in the worst case and 5.99% of the time in median 
      case, respectively. For the mixtures of CPs, the joint probability were 0.171 in 
      the worst case and 0.503 in median case, respectively and 5% of species would be 
      affected 49.83% of the time for the worst case and 12.72% in the median case, 
      respectively. Risks of effects of the individual CPs, 2,4-DCP and 2,4,6-TCP were 
      deemed to be acceptable with a overlapping probability of < 0.1 with 5% of 
      species being affected less than 4% of the time.
