Toxicity of Fire Retardant Chemicals to Aquatic Organisms: Progress Report

Table 15


Table 15. Comparison of species sensitivity to five fire retardants tested in ASTM soft and hard waters. The swim-up life stage of fish (most sensitive life stage) was used in the comparison. Species with a common underline are not significantly different in toxicity sensitivity (p = 0.05; non-overlapping 95% confidence intervals).
