| Abstract | In 1980, outdoor experimental stream channels at Monticello, Minnesota were continuously dosed for 24 and later 48 h with 8 mg/l p-cresol, a toxic phenolic by-product of coal gasification. The dosage, based on laboratory studies by the Environmental Protection Agency, was expected to stress but not to kill fish and invertebrates in the channels. |
