Are PMOCs less toxic? Linking physicochemical compound properties with measured toxicity

“Persistent and mobile organic chemicals (PMOCs) are gaining attention as a potential threat to the quality of water resources. Due to their high persistence and mobility they evade water treatment processes and persist and accumulate in water cycles, leading to human- and environmental exposures to PMOCs. But, does their high mobility make them inherently less toxic than their hydrophobic counterparts?”
