Pentachlorophenol distribution in a fresh water ecosystem.
The results of this investigation have shown that PCP persisted in leaf litter and sediments for at least seventeen months following contamination. This persistence provides a potential for continuous contamination of the water column and biological magnification via detritus- and benthic-feeding organisms. An investigation of these factors is presently underway.
