Abstract:
Methods for the reliable determination of butyltin compounds in sediments are required for both national and international marine monitoring programmes. This evaluation of current commonly used approaches to the analysis identifies critical aspects of extraction, derivatisation, clean-up, separation, standardisation and detection with the objective of improving the analytical capabilities both of experienced laboratories and of those addressing the problems for the first time.
