TL;DR: The aim of this literature review was to summarise the knowledge of the behaviour, and toxicity on marine and freshwater organisms, of phenols as well as to try to select a series of sensitive biomarkers suitable for ecotoxicological assessment and environmental monitoring in aquatic environments.
152 citations
TL;DR: At least 17 genera of bacteria from three phyla are found that can degrade phenol in different saline environments, and the sources and taxonomy of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria are reviewed.
71 citations
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the ecotoxicity of SAs on organisms at different trophic level organisms and the environmental risks regarding aquatic systems and found that SAs are ubiquitous in aquatic environments and pose an ecological risk owing to their large consumption and strong environmental persistence.
48 citations
TL;DR: The development of attenuation was in agreement with pseudo-first-order kinetics for all xylenes and the half-lives of MX, OX, and PX under optimal conditions were 0.76, 0.74 and 0.88 days, respectively.

TL;DR: The toxic effects of p-xylene, 4-methylbenzyl alcohol, p-methyl benzaldehyde, and p-toluic acid on two marine microalgae (Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin, and Skeletonema costatum) were investigated.
Abstract: The toxic effects of p-xylene, 4-methylbenzyl alcohol, p-methyl benzaldehyde, and p-toluic acid on two marine microalgae (Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin, and Skeletonema costatum) were investigated. p-Xylene was the most toxic to Pha. tricornutum with a 96 h EC50 value of 6.76 mg L−1. Based on the 96 h EC50 values for two microalgae, the toxicity of the four chemicals, in descending order, was: p-xylene, p-methyl benzaldehyde, 4-methylbenzyl alcohol, then p-toluic acid. The results showed that the toxicity of the transformed products of p-xylene was lower than that of p-xylene.
