Abstract:Chlorine, like any other biocide, produces a dose‐dependent response in organisms. However, the response is dependent on a number of parameters. Chlorination of cooling water leaves residuals and by‐products that are potential pollutants in the receiving water body and can impact nontarget organisms. Therefore, it is imperative to generate data on the chlorine dose–response relationships of important fouling organisms, such as various mussel species, for efficient but environmentally acceptable biofouling cont… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
