A mild extraction method for element speciation analysis from feather matrices determination of organotin species from surf scoter feather / Fan Yang.: En36-518/00-001E-PDF

"The antifouling use of tributyltin (TBT) began in the 1960s. Since then TBT has resulted in deleterious effects on a variety of non-target organisms. The occurrence of extremely toxic TBT compound in the aquatic environment and aquatic organisms has been documented in the literature. Recently, the occurrence of tributyltin and its degradation products has been reported in water birds. It was suggested that butyltin compounds could be accumulated in liver and kidney of the water birds"--Page 1.
