Abstract
AbstractTriorganotin compounds can interact with various segments of natural water systems. In sediments, for example, these compounds can undergo speciation, and can also become injurious to benthos. The interaction of tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) compounds with sediments have been studied using extraction techniques in addition to directly observing these compounds in sediments using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The effect of these compounds on benthos has also been examined. The results of these studies are reviewed with particular regard to studies on sediments from the Chesapeake Bay, USA.
