Abstract

In this study, the toxicity of 49 mixed halogenated benzenes to Dicrateria zhanjiangensis was determined and the partition coefficient of these mixtures was described by using the C18-EmporeTM disks/water partition coefficient (K mix). According to these data, a simple K mix-based QSAR model was successfully used to correlate the toxicity of the mixed halogenated benzenes to D. zhanjiangensis.
