Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is an important phthalic ester, its production is second only to di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate. DBP extensively exists in air, water, soil and organisms in China. In the present study, toxic effects of DBP, including acute toxicity and effects on feeding behavior and reproduction, on Daphnia magna and effects on the growth of green algae Scenedesmus obliquus were determined. Effects of environmental factors (temperature, humic acid and hardness) on the acute toxicity were observed. Meanwhile the bioconcentration and biodegradation of DBP by Scenedesmus obliquus was also studied.
