Occurrence of methyltin and butyltin species in environmental samples in Ontario / Y.K. Chau, R.J. Maguire, P.T.S. Wong, B.A. Glen, G.A. Bengert and R.J. Tkacz.: En36-533/8401E-PDF
"During fiscal years 1982-1983 and 1983-1984 the Great Lakes Water Quality Program provided funding for a survey to determine the extent of contamination of waters on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes basin by methyltin and butyltin compounds. This is the report of the results of analyses of water, sediment and fish from about one hundred locations, largely in Ontario. Butyltin species were widely found in water and sediment samples. The highest concentrations were in harbours, reflecting the use of tri—n—butyltin as an antifouling agent in boat paint. Methyltin species were infrequently detected, and their occurrence was correlated with the presence of relatively high concentrations of inorganic tin"--Abstract.
