Abstract
Structure-activity relationships between hydrocarbon toxicity and physical-chemical properties are investigated. The acute toxicities of aqueous solutions of hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and crude oils to Daphnia magna in a closed bioassay system are reported and the toxicities correlated with solubilities.
