Butyltins (BTs) and phenyltins (PhTs) were determined in the livers of marine mammals found by-caught or stranded along the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. During the investigation an original analytical method was developed. Butyltin compounds were detected in all the liver samples, whereas phenyltins were not detected in any of the samples. The total concentrations of BTs ranged from 43.9 to 7698 ng(Sn) x g(-1) dry weight. Age-related trends to accumulate BTs in immature porpoises were found…

Organotins in fish muscle and liver from the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea: Is the total ban successful?

Concentrations of Organotin Compounds in Tissues and Organs of Dugongs from Thai Coastal Waters

The concentrations of BTs and PTs in the livers of dugongs were decreased between 1998 and 2002, suggesting a decrease in OT concentrations in the surrounding environment.

Accumulation of Organotin Compounds in Tissues and Organs of Dolphins from the Coasts of Thailand

The concentration of organotin (OT) in seven species of dolphin (bottlenose dolphin, finless porpoise, Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin, long-beaked common dolphin, Pantropical spotted dolphin, spinner dolphin, and striped dolphin), which were stranded on the coasts of Thailand, were measured and monobutyltin among all the BTs was the dominant species in tissues and most organs except the liver.

Endocrine disruptors in blue mussels and sediments from the Gulf of Gdańsk (Southern Baltic)

Samples of blue mussel (Mytilus trossulus) and sediment were collected in the Gulf of Gdańsk (Southern Baltic Sea) to assess the extent of their contamination with two groups of endocrine disruptors:…

Comparison of the Composition of Chemical Elements in the Liver of Ringed Seal (Phoca hispida) from three different populations

The chemical element analysis revealed spatial differences between the Baltic Sea population and either one or both of the Greenland populations for several elements, however, none of the elements of concern in the BalticSea were present at significantly higher concentrations in theBaltic Sea population compared to the two Greenland populations.

Concentrations of Organotin Compounds in the Stranded Killer Whales from Rausu, Hokkaido, Japan

Higher percentages of monobutyltin (MBT) in blubber, lung, and muscle were observed, while the percentage of dibutyltIn (DBT) was high in liver, and MBT was the dominant compound among BTs.
