Abstract: | Experiments are described which involve the chlorination of standard solutions of lipids and populations of the mussel, Mytilus edulis (L). The object was to test the hypothesis that chlorine will bind to unsaturated lipids. Evidence is presented that chlorine and aqueous chlorinated species rapidly and readily form addition compounds with unsaturated lipids in vivo as well as in vitro. The relevance of these findings to possible environmental effects of chlorination is discussed. |
