Abstract
The acute and chronic toxicity of some final biodegradation products
of resorcinol (1,3 dihydroxybenzene), orcinol (3,5 hydroxy toluene),
and Black Sea oil by means of Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli 
was determined on Cyprinus carpio, Hipophthalmichthys molitrix and
cladocera Daphnia magna.
