PG - 73-8 AB - Embryos of fathead minnows were more resistant to phenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol (2,4-DMP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), and pentachlorophenol (PCP) than were larval or juvenile life stages. Growth of 28-day-old fish was the most sensitive indicator of stress during exposures to phenol, 2,4-DMP, and PCP, whereas survival was the most sensitive indicator of toxic effects from 2,4-DCP exposure. Based on these effects, the estimated maximum acceptable toxicant concentration for fathead minnows in Lake Superior water lies between 1,830 and 3,570 micrograms/L for phenol; 1,970 and 3,110 micrograms/L for 2,4-DMP; 290 and 460 micrograms/L for 2,4-DCP; and 44.9 and 73.0 micrograms/L for PCP.
