Abstract
Ecotoxicity data are reported for α‐substituted tributyltin monomers and polymers against two species of bacteria viz. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Sarcina hutea and a crustacean specie Artemia salina larva. The results show that the toxicity of the compounds increased with the increase in tributyltin contents in the polymers. The homopolymers were most toxic towards the larvae amongst the polymers. Uncured polymers were found to be more toxic than cured polymers. It was not possible to correlate the biotoxicity with the chemical structure of the polymer.
