The effects of pesticides on algae.
This paper reviews the effect on algae of organochlorine, carbamate, organophosphorus and other groups of pesticides, but excluding herbicides and general metabolic inhibitors. Existing data are often fragmentary and contradictory. Possible reasons for contradictory data are explored and discussed and the value of existing standard algal toxicity tests for environmental impact assessment is seriously questioned.
