Tox LOSP Unknown Comments

Although there were sufficient marine toxicity data to derive a guideline value for 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol based on the assessment factor method,, the freshwater DGV (low reliability) was of higher quality and, therefore, should be used with caution for marine waters, as an unknown reliability value.

General Comments

Bioaccumulation and secondary poisoning effects should be considered for this toxicant. Refer to Warne et al. (2018) and the bioaccumulation section in Accounting for local conditions, for details. Tainting or flavour impairment of fish flesh might occur at concentrations below the DGV. These DGVs and the information in the corresponding DGVs technical brief for this toxicant should be used in accordance with the detailed guidance provided on the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality website.
