manufacturing) industry is highly concentrated in an area of northwest Georgia served by the Coosa River and its tributaries (the Conasauga, Coosawattee, and Oostanaula rivers ). All municipal and industrial wastes are discharged into, and the water supplies for the cities of Dalton, Calhoun, and Rome are taken from, this river basin. The magnitude of the indus try, difficulties in waste treatment plant operation and plant performance, and the concentrations of textile-processing chem icals in water supplies and wastewaters are described and presented in a separate re port.1 Many industrial discharges into mu nicipal sewerage systems are known to have undesirable effects on waste treatment facilities, particularly in terms of biological inhibition. Very little was known concern ing the effects of specific textile-processing chemicals on biological treatment or on the microbial utilization (biod?gradation) of these components. It was anticipated and subsequently confirmed in preliminary studies that chlorinated biphenyls were present which, due to their known toxicity, may be interfering with waste treatment facilities operation. This report deals with a series of studies relating to microbial biod?gradation of and inhibition of microorganisms by the follow ing: biphenyl, ethyl hexanol, methyl naph thalene, methyl benzthiazole, nonylphenol, trichlorobenzene, and Aroclor 1254 [a com mercial mixture of polychlorinated bi phenyls (pcb)]. Fish bioassay data are also included.
