AB  - Propylbenzenes (PBZs) and trimethylbenzenes (TMBs) are aromatic hydrocarbon 
      compounds widely used in many industries with potential release to different 
      environments. The fate and aquatic effects of these compounds in the environment 
      were evaluated. Evidence suggests that PBZs and TMBs will rapidly volatilise from 
      water and bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Under both aerobic and anaerobic 
      conditions, these compounds are readily biodegradable, whereby 1,2,3-TMB is more 
      stable than the others. In air, all five compounds have atmospheric 
      photo-oxidation half-lives ranging from 0.31 to 1.55 d. The toxicity data 
      collectively show that PBZs, 1,2,4- and 1,3,5-TMB pose high acute toxicity 
      effects on aquatic organisms. Furthermore, freshwater species are more sensitive 
      to these compounds than marine species. There is not much data on the occurrence 
      of PZBs and TMBs in the aquatic environment. This review presents the current 
      state of knowledge on the fate of PBZs and TMBs. Moreover, the acute and joint 
      toxicity of these compounds to different aquatic organisms, especially in marine 
      organisms, warrants further investigation.
