Immunotoxicity in ascidians: Antifouling compounds alternative to organotins—IV. The case of zinc pyrithione

Syntheses, characterization, and hydrolytic degradation of P(ε‐caprolactone‐co‐δ‐valerolactone) copolymers: Influence of molecular weight

“…These two parameters were known to control the release of bioactive molecules . Therefore, zinc pyrithione (ZnPT), which has good antifouling properties, was chosen as a model biocide . It is weakly water soluble (15–20 ppm), highly stable and lipophilic (octanol–water partition coefficient = 0.9) …”

Evaluation of the phenyl-bonded silica-based sorbent for pre-concentration of the booster antifouling biocides Zinc Pyrithione, Zineb and Ziram using solid-phase extraction technique and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

“…Studies with sea urchin eggs and embryos demonstrated that Zn(PT)2 (0.01 fg L -1 ) is more toxic than Cu(PT)2 (1,000 fg L -1 ) 7 . The Zn(PT)2 showed similar toxicity to TBT for ascidian Botryllus schlosseri cultured hemocytes in extremely low concentrations 31.7 μg L -1 and 158 μg L -1 , respectively 8 . The sublethal exposure of mussels in the 14-day period to Zn(PT)2 (0.2 or 2 mmol L -1 ), along with inorganic Zn and seawater controls) was considered genotoxic for mussel haemocytes 9 .…”

Partial replacement of cement for waste aggregates in concrete coastal and marine infrastructure: A foundation for ecological enhancement?

“…GGBS contained higher concentrations of Zn and Ba, but lower in all of the other metals Disclaimer: This is the pre-proof version of the paper. Please go to http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925857417303907 for the final version of the paper: McManus RS, Archibald N, Comber S, Knights AM, Thompson RC, Firth LB (2017) (Cima & Ballarin, 2015). Interestingly, both PFA and GGBS contained lower concentrations of Cu than the cement, which too, has biocidal properties and is widely used in anti-fouling paints.…”
