Abstract
The objectives of the study were to determine the effects of pentachlorophenol (PCP) on the periphyton community in outdoor experimental streams. It was part of a larger study in which an objective was to evaluate the effects of PCP at water quality criterion levels on natural aquatic communities. Measures of periphyton biomass including ash-free dry weight and phytopigments indicated a linear dose-response relationship with PCP between the criterion level (48 microgram/L) and 432 microgram/L. Slight effects were evident at the criterion level.
