Identification of chlorfenvinphos toxicity in a municipal effluent in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Acute toxicity in a municipal sewage treatment plant in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, was traced to chlorfenvinphos, an organophosphorous pesticide. Toxicity identification evaluation procedures led to the tentative identification of chlorfenvinphos as the toxic contaminant in the sample. Subsequent analytical verification revealed 0.95 microg/L of chlorfenvinphos in the effluent sample, and spiking studies confirmed that it accounted for the observed toxicity. The 48-h median lethal concentration of chlorfenvinphos to Ceriodaphnia dubia averaged 0.28 microg/L (n = 4). Source-control measures were effective at eliminating chlorfenvinphos and associated toxicity from the discharge.[1]
