Summary

Results from probabilistic analysis showed that ecological risk from Irgarol exposure was low in estuaries, coastal areas, and various open-type marinas, however, 10% or more of the plant species in enclosed marinas with low flushing rates may be exposed to IrGarol concentrations that would reduce photosynthesis activity and growth during the summer.
