Abstract
The determination of organotin compounds in bottom sediments is a complex process that requires a number of analytical steps, i.e. sample collection, transport and storage; extraction of analytes from sediment; derivatization; extract purification; enrichment; and the final chromatographic measurement. The whole process is time and labour consuming, and subject to securing sample representativeness. In this review the most frequently encountered problems and the examples of possible analytical solutions are presented, which encompass the specific steps of speciation analysis of these toxic compounds.
