Organotin compounds (OTs) were used in antifouling paints for more than four decades.
However, due to their widespread intensive use and high toxicity, undesirable effects in non …

Butyltin compounds (BTs) were used worldwide, especially because of their properties as
biocides. Due to its high toxicity, the use of tributyltin (TBT) in antifouling paints has been …

The first appraisal of butyltins (BT) contamination linked with imposex incidence in the
Pacific coast of South America was performed in the current study. Imposex occurrence was …

A spatiotemporal evaluation of butyltin contamination was performed between 2010 and
2012 along Todos os Santos Bay (Northeast Brazil) using surface sediments, bivalve tissues …

The first appraisal of butyltin (BT) contamination linked with imposex incidence in Peruvian
coastal areas was performed in the present study. Imposex occurrence and BT levels in …

Tropical marine environments are rich in biodiversity and the presence of harbor activities in
these areas can harm the coastal ecosystems. In this study, we assessed sediment quality of …

Abstract The Capibaribe Estuary is a water body that crosses the Recife Metropolitan Area
(RMA), one of the largest population centers in Brazil, and causes large pollutant loads and …

This study investigated the spatial distribution and chemical characteristics of potentially
toxic elements (PTEs) in road-deposited sediments (RDS) at the Port of Busan by size …

The input of organotin compounds (OTs) in marine coastal environments such as estuarine
systems has been of great concern in recent decades, particularly because of their wide use …

Tributyltin (TBT) contamination is still recorded in the environment even after its ban in
antifouling paints. Since most biomonitors of TBT contamination, through imposex …
