Description:

Laboratory studies on the acute and chronic toxicity of chlorine and inorganic chloramines to trout, salmon, minnows, bullhead, largemouth bass, and bluegill were conducted. Acute toxicity under continuous and intermittent patterns of exposure as well as behavioral, reproduction, development, and growth responses to low level exposures to residual chlorine compounds were determined. The results and interpretations of these studies are discussed.
