  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Myriophyllum spicatum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was exposed to various chlorine concentrations on a continuous and intermittent basis in 96-h toxicity studies utilizing a proportional diluter. Continuous exposure to chlorine concentrations as low as 0.05 mg l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;total residual chlorine (TRC) depressed shoot and total plant dry weights approx. 30% relative to controls. Shoot length was depressed approx. 16% at this concentration. Chlorophyll&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;a&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was depressed 25% at 0.1 mg l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;TRC. However, intermittent exposure of plants to chlorine for three 2-h periods daily for 96 h indicated an insensitivity to repeated short term chlorine exposure at all concentrations but 1.0 mg l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;TRC. These results indicate that high level chlorine discharges from waste water facilities and electric generating plants could be a contributing factor impacting nearby submerged aquatic vegetation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
