Abstract
This paper is a description of the present state of knowledge on the nature and properties of the compounds present in spent bleach liquors known to have acute toxic, mutagenic and/or carcinogenic effects. Included is also a discussion concerning bioaccumulation of spent bleach liquor material. Furthermore, the eventual risks involved in releasing such liquors into the rivers and lakes are briefly discussed.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
