Nocivite relative de cinq detergents anioniques en milieu marin. 1. Toxicite aigue a l'egard de quinze organismes

The acute toxicity of 5 anionic detergents towards 15 marine organisms is related in this study which indicates that fish are very susceptible while Crustacea are the most resistant animals. Phytoplankton and molluscs appear to have intermediate sensibility tothose syndets. The lethal concs of the 5 anionic detergents used in this experiences towards the most susceptible marine spp are near one mgm/l.
