Abstract
Chlorophenol compounds have received widespread attention because of their sources, applications and characteristics. As an important environmental medium, suspended particles are ubiquitously distributed in aquatic ecosystems. In order to investigate the occurrence of chlorophenol compounds in aquatic environments of China and their toxicity in the case of suspended particles, literature retrieval methods were used to analyze their presence in waters, sediments and organisms in China and the effect of suspended particles on their toxicity to aquatic organisms was also investigated. The results showed that pentachlorophenol (PCP) or NaPCP present ubiquitous pollution and distributions in various aquatic environments. Meanwhile, in order to better protect human health and aquatic organisms, considering the effects of suspended particles on toxicity of these chemicals towards aquatic organisms, appropriate standards for chlorophenols were needed.
