M icbial Trsform aion of O rgnotin C om punds uder im uated Ldfill C onitions Liöping 2007 The cycling of tin is a topic of concern because of its anthropogenic entry of organotin compounds into the environment. Special attention is given to the transformation of organotins and the methylation of inorganic tin, since these processes often give rise to more toxic formulations. By far the largest...

Organic contaminants [polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), nonylphenols], organotin compounds and trace metals (cadmium, chromium, mercury and zinc) were determined in flounder (Platichthys flesus) liver and sediment from the Amsterdam harbour (North Sea Canal) and Rotterdam harbour (Euromonding) and off the Dutch coast betwe...

In vitro antibacterial activity of some organotin(IV) chlorobenzoates including diphenyltin(IV) o-, m-, p-dichlorobenzoate (2, 3, 4) and triphenyltin(IV) p-chlorobenzoate (6, 7, 8) against Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli was studied. The compounds were synthesized by the reaction dihydroxide (1) hydroxide (5) with p-chlorobenzoic acid in a maximum refluxed time 4 h using methanol as solv...

Marine organisms have been proven to be excellent sources of environmentally benign biogenic compounds. These metabolites have received much attention because of their pharmacological and antifouling activites. Biofouling process is known to cause serious problems to the submerged structures. Many countries have ratified an international treaty to ban the application of antifouling coatings bas...
