Translate "klorofenol" into English

klorofenol — chlorophenol (English)

Major group of chlorinated hydrocarbons, pesticides and biocides which account for a very high percentage of the non-agricultural pesticide use, such as anti-rotting agents in non-woollen textiles and wood preservatives. The chlorophenols act as biocides by inhibiting the respiration and energy-conversion processes of the microorganisms. They are toxic to man above 40 parts per million, to fish above 1 ppm, whilst concentrations as low as one part per thousand million can taint water. (Source: PORT)

The original Slovenian definition:

klorofenol (Slovenian)

Večja skupina kloriranih ogljikovodikov, pesticidov in biocidov, ki predstavljajo zelo visok odstotek uporabe pesticidov za nekmetijske namene, npr. sredstvo proti gnitju v nevolnenih tkaninah in za zaščito lesa. Klorofenoli delujejo kot biocidi tako, da preprečujejo dihanje in proces pretvorbe energije v mikroorganizmih. V koncentraciji 40 delov na milijon (ppm) so strupeni za človeka, 1 ppm za ribe, medtem ko lahko že koncentracija enega dela na tisoč milijonov onesnaži vodo. (Vir: PORT)
