Abstract: | The toxicity of aqueous solutions saturated with mixtures of hydrophobic organic liquids is contrasted to that of solutions prepared from solids. Data for a variety of mixtures are presented and are related to the solubilities of the components. It is shown that in the absence of biological interactive effects, the toxicity of a component in a saturated mixture of liquids will be equal to or less than that of a corresponding solution of its most toxic component. In contrast, for solutions derived from a mixture of solids, the toxicity will equal or exceed that of a corresponding saturated solution of its most toxic component, and will tend to increase with the complexity of the mixture. |
