Abstract The investigation was undertaken to determine the fate of pentachlorophenol (PCP) that caused extensive fish kills in a freshwater lake in December 1974 and again in December 1976. The kills resulted from the accidental release of wood-treating wastes containing PCP in fuel oil. Food chain relationships were investigated in the lake and the accumulation and elimination of sublethal concentrations of dissolved PCP was studied under laboratory conditions for the bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus). The highest concentrations of PCP in fish were observed in the bile followed by liver, gills, and muscle. Lake sediment and leaf litter contained high concentrations of PCP throughout the two-year study. Studies of leaf litter from the contaminated water shed area showed it to be a source for chronic pollution of the aquatic ecosystem.
