“…The sample from 1984 was taken 8 years before the implementation of the regulation limiting the use of TBT-based antifouling paint, which may account for the difference in the OT concentrations in the sediments. Concentrations of the most toxic TOT compounds in the sediments were considerably lower than the values of 2043 ng g-I TBT and 107 ng g-I TPT recorded in the sediments from a marina in Lucerne, Switzerland (Fent and Hunn 1991),500 ng g-I TBT in the sediments from Osaka harbour (Harino et al 1999), and 4-4,500 ng g-I TBT in the sediments from coastal areas of Thailand (Kan-Atireklap et al 1997).…”

“…Under the effect of these regulations, OT concentrations in water decreased. In contrast, no changes of OT concentrations in sediment were observed (Harino et al 1999) because OTs have persisted in sediments for a long time (Maguire and Tkacz 1985;Dowson et al 1993;Harino et al 1998), and high concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) continue to be detected in various coastal areas (e.g., Ohji et al 2007;Eguchi et al 2010). Therefore, sediments are an environment to which attention should be paid regarding contamination in the marine environment.…”

Coastal marine environments are considered to be the most sensitive areas for the accumulation of organotin (OT) compounds and other emerging new pollutants, such as perfluoroalkyl compounds. Contamination by these compounds is a matter of great concern due to their accumulation and possible negative impact on the coastal environment and organisms. The concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) compounds were greater in Indonesia, i.e., on the order of Bitung > Manado > Jakarta Bay > Gangga Island, and TBT in sediment from Bitung and Manado was the dominant species among butyltin (BT) compounds. Sea Nine 211, diuron, and irgarol 1051 were detected among alternative biocides in Bitung, Manado, and Gangga Island and irgarol 1051 was detected in Jakarta Bay. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorosulfonic acid (PFOS) in Jakarta Bay were detected at 0.25 to 6.1 μg kg(-1) dry weight (dw) and 0.58 to 3.7 μg kg(-1) dw, respectively, and the concentrations of PFOS at most sampling sites were greater than those of PFOA. Thus, coastal waters from Indonesia have already been contaminated by antifouling biocides and perfluoroalkyl compounds.

“…Trisubstituted OTC, including TBT and TPhT, are among the most hazardous pollutants to enter aquatic ecosystems (Hoch 2001 EC 2000). Although OTC were intensively investigated in the marine environment (Coelho et al 2002;Díez et al 2005;Godoi et al 2003;Gomez-Ariza et al 2001;Harino et al 1999;Milivojevič Nemanič et al 2002Ščančar et al 2007), they are a rare subject of research in river sediments (Bancon-Montigny et al 2004;ICPDR 2002;Lacorte et al 2006;Scrimshaw et al 2005).…”

Sediment pollution of the biggest Danube tributary, the Sava River, was investigated within the sixth framework European Union project "Sava River Basin: Sustainable Use, Management and Protection of Resources" (SARIB). The extent of pollution was estimated by determining the amount of inorganic and persistent organic pollutants in sediment samples at 20 selected sampling sites along the Sava River. For the purpose of clarity, the findings are presented and published separately (part I: selected elements and part II: persistent organic pollutants). This study presents an investigation into the presence of organic pollutants in the Sava River sediment. According to the Water Framework Directive, the following persistent organic pollutants were investigated: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), selected chlorinated pesticides and organotin compounds. The results reveal that PAHs were present in moderate concentrations (sum of 16 PAHs: up to 4,000 ng g(-1)) and their concentrations increased downstream. Concentrations of PCB were low (sum of seven indicator PCBs: below 4 ng g(-1)) and among the pesticides analyzed only p,p-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane was found in moderate concentrations at two sampling sites in Croatia (up to 3 ng g(-1)) and hexachlorobenzene was found in a high concentration in the city of Belgrade (91 ng g(-1)), although the use of these persistent pesticides has been banned for decades. Repeated sampling at the same location revealed point pollution near Belgrade. Among the organic pollutants surveyed, organotin compounds were not detected. Overall results reveal the presence of persistent organic pollutants in 20 of the Sava River sediments tested that is, in general, comparable or lower than the levels in the Danube River and other moderately polluted European rivers.
