TLDR
In this paper, a 2 3 + 1 factorial design was used to study adsorption of butyltin compounds under simulated estuarine conditions, including artificial seawater and its dilutions (salinity 5-35 g kg −1 ), pH (6.2-8.2), and hydrous iron oxide concentration (10-1000 mg l −1 ).About:

Ecotoxicology of organotin compounds.
TL;DR: The aquatic ecotoxicology of organotins is reviewed based on a multidisciplinary approach involving environmental chemical, toxicological, and ecological aspects, and the influence of speciation for bioavailability, basic modes of toxic action, and aquatic toxicity are discussed.

Organotin compounds in the environment — an overview
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed new sensitve analytical techniques for the detection of organotin compounds in various environmental samples, such as water and sediments, but also various aquatic organisms and tissues of mammals and birds are contaminated by these compounds.

Role of Metal-Organic complexation in metal sorption by Soils
Robert D. Harter,Ravendra Naidu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the interaction between metal cations and dissolved polyfunctional organic compounds of low molecular weight and their potential role in heavy metal contamination of soil and groundwater.

Occurrence and fate of tributyl‐ and triphenyltin compounds in western mediterranean coastal enclosures
Abstract: Tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products, mono- (MBT) and dibutyltin (DBT) have been determined in the dissolved and particulate phases of seawater, sediments, and biota collected in some representative open and enclosed coastal areas of the western Mediterranean Sea. The highest levels were found in sediments and seawater of dry docks and marinas, closely related with boating activity and clearly decreasing according to the distance from the point sources. Triphenyl- (TPhT) and diphenyltin (DPhT) were also identified for the first time in seawater and sediments collected in marinas, exhibiting concentrations similar to TBT. Concentration ratios between TBT/DBT and TPhT/DPhT in each environmental compartment as well as the field partition coefficients (Kd, K′d, and Kb) of the different tin species point out the complexity of organotin speciation, because accumulation and degradation processes occur at different rates, depending on the environmental compartment.

A review of the degradation of tri(n-butyl)tin in the marine environment.
Carol Stewart,S. J. de Mora +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the degradation processes for TBT in natural waters, sediments and biota has been conducted and it has been shown that TBT is very stable in heavily contaminated sediments.

Partition coefficient and bioaccumulation of selected organic chemicals
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical equation is established to relate the experimental n-octanol/water partition coefficients to the aqueous solubilities of a wide variety of chemicals including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic acids, organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls.

Sorption of chlorinated phenols by natural sediments and aquifer materials
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that phenolate sorption not only of the nondissociated phenols but also of their conjugate bases (phenolates) can occur in natural waters of low ionic strength (i.e., I less than or equal to approx. 10/sup -3/M).
