“…Because of the re-emergence of schistosomiasis causing the adding consumption of PCP in several provinces in China, it indicates an aggravating trend of PCP pollution. And also, the Na-PCP is still used for fish pond cleaning in China, in many sampling sites, the long-term using Na-PCP for killing oncomelania and for fish pond cleaning induce a nearly two-fold risk of PCP contamination of the environment (Tan et al, 2008;Yang et al, 1996;Ge et al, 2007). The PCP level is also detected in human body that lives in PCP pollution area.…”

“…In China, PCP was used extensively from 1960s until 2000 as a major molluskacide to kill Oncomelania hupensis, which is the intermediate host of schistosomes (Ge et al, 2007). Thus, it is interesting to predict the environmental fate of PCP and to develop potential remediation technologies for PCP contaminated soils.…”

The influence of pH on the sorption of pentachlorophenol (PCP) onto three organic amendments, char, humic acid (HA) and peat, and the effect of organic amendments on PCP sorption to three kinds of soils were evaluated. The sorption of PCP on these sorbents fitted the Freundlich model well, suggesting that PCP sorption isotherms were nonlinear with exponential coefficient (N) value lower than 1. The PCP sorption capacity on three organic amendments and the N values increased with decreasing pH. The sorption capacities were in the order: char > HA > peat. Organic amendments resulted in an enhancement of sorption capacities of soils. The N values of PCP sorption on soils were decreased by char amendment and increased by HA and peat amendments. This study demonstrated that application of traditional organic amendments led to the enhancement of PCP sorption by soils. This information may aid both in predicting environmental fates of hydrophobic ionizable organic compounds and in developing remediation strategies for them.

“…Because of its toxicity to aquatic life, recalcitrance to aerobic biodegradation and potential bioaccumulation, PCP has been recognized as a priority pollutant in the United States as well as in China (USEPA 1991;Xia et al 2004). PCP is reported to be an endocrine disruptor (Orton et al 2009;Zha et al 2006), and is also a recognized class 2B carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (Ge et al 2007).…”

Introduction While the literature is replete with studies of the toxic potency of pentachlorophenol (PCP), site-specific criteria for native aquatic species that can be used in ecological risk assessments has been lacking and application of toxicity information for non-native species is controversial. Materials and methods In the present study, acute and chronic toxicities of PCP to six aquatic species native to the Yangtze River were determined. The HC 5 and HC 50 (hazardous concentration for 5% and 50% of species) were derived from dose-response curves for these native aquatic species and were then compared with those derived for non-native species. Results The acute toxicity values for the native species ranged from 8.8×10−2 mg l −1 (Plagiognathops microlepis) to 1.1 mg l −1 (Soirodela polyrhiza), while chronic toxicity values based on no observed effect concentrations (NOECs) ranged from 0.01 mg l −1 (Macrobrachium superbum) to 0.25 mg l −1 (Soirodela polyrhiza). Native aquatic benthos was more sensitive to acute PCP exposure than non-native species. There was no significant difference in NOECs derived from native fish species and those based on nonnative fish species. The median acute HC 5 and HC 50 derived from the toxicity data of native taxa were both less than those derived from non-native taxa. There was no significant difference between chronic HC 5 s derived from the two sets of taxa. However, the median chronic HC 50 derived from native taxa was less than that derived from non-native taxa.Conclusion The study upon which we report here provides site-specific toxicity information developed for native species which can be used for the protection of local aquatic life from a common contaminant, PCP.
