Hydrophobicity is an important property of chemical compounds. The logarithm of the partition coefficient in 1-octanol/water (log P or log Pow) is commonly used as an index of hydrophobicity. The highly hydrophobic chemical compounds which have large log P values may accumulate in the environment, causing general toxicity for wild organisms. In this paper, the relationships of aquatic toxicity and bioconcentration with log P and another hydrophobicity index, the logarithm of the membrane accumulation index, log PM were explained. In addition, the brief results of our research on pesticide accumulation in Vietnam were described.
