Organotin compounds and aquatic bacteria: A review

Organotin Compounds and the Environment

Organotin compound that have at least one Sn-C bond have wide commercial applications as PVC stabilizer, antifouling agent in paint and as agrochemicals. The general formula for organotin compounds is R4SnX4 - n where R is normally alkyl or aryl groups and X=Cl-, OH-, CH3COO- . If n=3, the compound has the highest toxicity, for example Et3SnOAC has LD 50 4mg/Kg ( rats ) and this is the m...

Toxicity and health effects of selected organotin compounds: a review.

The toxicity of selected tin compounds is reviewed. Over the years, a variety of uses has been found for organic and inorganic tin compounds, as fungicides, as stablizers in plastics, moluscicides, and miticides; they have also been suggested as insect chemosterilants and for other industrial uses. Many of these products are unpalatable when mixed into diets and have been suggested as rodent re...

Organotin compounds: industrial applications and biological investigation.

According to Ross (1), there are three main areas in which organotin compounds have product and process utility: (1) heat stabilizers; (2) catalytic agents; (3) biocidal compounds. Organotin derivatives account for the fourth largest production of organometallics amounting to about 3-4 million pounds per year as compared with about 485 million pounds per year for organolead compounds. Originall...
