“…In comparison with those values reported in other countries, the levels of BTs obtained in this study were similar with those in São Vicente Estuary (Brazil) [13], Coast (Vietnam) [30], North coast of Kyoto (Japan) [31], but significantly lower than those in Kochi Harbor (India) [32], estuaries of Gipuzkoa (Spain) [33], Northern Adriatic Sea (Slovenia) [34], Santa Catarina Harbors (Brazil) [13] and coast of Mediterranean (Spain) [24].…”

The concentrations and species of organotin compounds (OTCs) in 52 surface sediment samples from nine fishing ports along the Chinese coast were studied. Butyltins (BTs) and phenyltins (PhTs) were derivatized using sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt 4 ) and determined by head-space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) gas chromatography coupled with a flame photometric detector (GC-FPD). The concentrations of OTCs ranged from <3.6 to 194 ng (Sn) g −1 dry weight (dw) for monobutyltin (MBT), <2.3 to 41.5 ng (Sn) g −1 dw for dibutyltin (DBT), <0.7 to 86.0 ng (Sn) g −1 dw for tributyltin (TBT) and <5.1 to 66.1 ng (Sn) g −1 dw for monophenyltin (MPhT), respectively. The concentrations of diphenyltin (DPhT) and triphenyltin (TPhT) were below the limit of detection (LOD). BTs were the main species in the sediments except for the samples collected from Shazikou fishing port in Qingdao. The concentrations of MBT were higher than DBT and TBT. The concentrations of OTCs in the sediments varied widely among different sampling locations. The concentrations of BTs were much higher in the samples collected from fishing ports close to the South China Sea than those in coast of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. MPhT was prevalent in most sampling stations except for those in coast of the East China Sea. The environmental and ecotoxicological risks of TBT in most sediment samples were low.

The contamination of sediments by organotins poses a threat to marine biota that may last long after release of the substances. The determination of tributyltin (TBT) and its decay products in sediment cores allows elucidation of concentration and degradation trends, and is a useful tool to support management decisions. In this study, organotin speciation was performed on cores from several locations in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, to investigate contamination trends over the last 30 years in this area, which houses the second most important harbor in Brazil. TBT concentration in surface sediments ranged from 742 µg kg −1 (as tin) in the vicinity of a major shipyard to 14 µg kg −1 (as tin) in an environmental protection area. Organotins depth profiles were, in general, very irregular, lacking evidence that TBT degradation occurs at appreciable rates in these anoxic sediments. Decay most probably takes place predominantly in the water column and at the water-sediment interface before final burial in the sediments. Data from the least contaminated area was used to estimate a first-order degradation constant of −0.37 years −1 for dibutyltin.
