SPECIATION OF METHYL- AND BUTYLTIN COMPOUNDS IN THE GREAT BAY ESTUARY (N. H. ).
Résumé
The authors describe speciation of methyltin and butyltin compounds by a chromatographic-atomic absorption spectrometric technique at the low picogram level. Its application to estuarine water and sediment samples is presented. Major results are that methyltin and butyltin aquatic concentrations in the Great Bay Estuary of New Hampshire vary with the season, and that their measurable sediment concentrations (as Sn) range from 2 to 80 ng/g.
