“…Estimates of the half-life of biological degradation of TBT in fresh water from Toronto Harbor range from a few weeks to 4 months (Maguire and Tkacz, 1985;Maguire, 1986), substantially longer than the 4-19 d reported for seawater (Seligman et al, 1986b(Seligman et al, ,c, 1989Lee et al, 1987). Estimates of the half-life of biological degradation of TBT in fresh water from Toronto Harbor range from a few weeks to 4 months (Maguire and Tkacz, 1985;Maguire, 1986), substantially longer than the 4-19 d reported for seawater (Seligman et al, 1986b(Seligman et al, ,c, 1989Lee et al, 1987).…”

“…Half-lives for TBT in the range of several days to several months have been reported in water and sediment and are the principal topic of this chapter Maguire and Tkacz, 1985;Seligman et ai., 1986bSeligman et ai., , 1986cSeligman et ai., , 1988Seligman et ai., , 1989Adelman et ai., 1990). TBT metabolism has been identified by both freshwater and marine (Lee et al, 1987, and Chapter 18) phytoplankton species.…”

“…Numerous TBT degradation experiments using microcosms (polycarbonate and glass bottles) with ambient unfiltered water to evaluate TBT half-lives and formation of degradation products were conducted using waters from four diverse harbors and estuaries (Seligman et ai., 1986b(Seligman et ai., ,c, 1988(Seligman et ai., , 1989Lee et al, 1987;Lee, Chapter 18). The experiments were conducted at environmentally realistic concentrations (0.2-2.0 J..Lg 1-1 TBT) using both 14C-TBTO and unlabeled TBTCl and included several die-away experiments using ambient TBT.…”

In most of the studies, we attempted to duplicate natural environmental conditions by using realistic TBT concentrations and ambient light, temperature, and microbial populations.…”

“…iv-3; Within the water column, the primary means of degradation of organotin compounds is likely to be planktonic algae or other microorganisms. Thain (1987) and Lee et al (1987) have found that degradation of TBT did not occur in natural water where filtration had been used to remove all organisms.…”
