Chlordane criteria for protection of marine life (0.004 pg/L, 24-h mean not to exceed 0.09 pg/L) appear satisfactory. Proposed criteria for freshwater life protection (0.0043 pg/L, 24-h mean not to exceed 2.4 pg/L), however, overlap the range of 0.2 to 3.0 pg/L shown to adversely affect certain fish and aquatic invertebrates, suggesting that some downward modification in the maximum permissible level is needed. Chlordane criteria for protection of birds and mammals are inadequate because the database is incomplete. Until these data become available, a reasonable substitute is the criteria proposed for human health protection — namely, daily intake not to exceed 0.001 mg chlordane per kilogram body weight, and diet not to exceed 0.3 mg chlordane per kilogram fresh weight.
