Fig. 2: Antimicrobial activities, developmental toxicity, and degradation of PCMX and nine DBPs.
From: An effective and rapidly degradable disinfectant from disinfection byproducts
a E. coli survivorship against the dosage of PCMX and the DBPs at pH 7.2 (107 cells per sample). b The effect of pH on disinfection efficacy of PCMX and the DBPs (107 E. coli cells per sample). c Inactivation of C. albicans, S. aureus and MS2 by PCMX and the DBPs (pH 7.2, contact time 5 min, dose 300 mg L‒1, 107 cells per sample for C. albicans and S. aureus, 1010 plaque-forming units per sample for MS2). d Comparative developmental toxicity of PCMX and the DBPs to P. dumerilii embryos (150 embryos per sample). e Degradation of PCMX and the DBPs in seawater with solar irradiation. f Degradation of PCMX and the DBPs in seawater without solar irradiation. 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCPh), 2,4-dibromophenol (2,4-DBPh), 2,4-diiodophenol (2,4-DIPh), 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone (2,5-DCHQ), 2,5-dibromohydroquinone (2,5-DBHQ), 2,5-diiodohydroquinone (2,5-DIHQ), 5-chlorosalicylic acid (5-CSA), 5-bromosalicylic acid (5-BSA), 5-iodosalicylic acid (5-ISA).
