Proceedings of the Workshop on Organotin Compounds in the Canadian Aquatic Environment, Sidney, British Columbia, February 19-20, 1996 / R. James Maquire, Y.K. Chau and J.A. Jeffrey Thompson. : En13-5/96-153E-PDF

"The Workshop on Organotin Compounds in the Canadian Aquatic Environment was held at the Institute of Ocean Sciences, Sidney, British Columbia, on February 19-20, 1996. This was the first Canadian workshop on organotin compounds. Its purpose was to bring together all researchers, managers of fisheries resources, regulators, and other interested parties to discuss, primarily, the Canadian situation with respect to the extremely toxic antifouling agent tributyltin (TBT), and to a lesser extent, other pesticidal and non-pesticidal organotin compounds. These proceedings summarize formal presentations and discussions on (i) the history of TBT research and monitoring in Canada, (ii) what effect the regulation of antifouling uses of TBT under the Pest Control Products Act in 1989 has had on concentrations of TBT in water, sediment and aquatic biota in Canada, (iii) the present status of non-pesticidal organotin compounds in Canada under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, (iii) recent advances in analytical methods, biological chemistry and environmental pathways of organotin compounds, (iv) the leaching of organotin compounds from chlorinated polylvinyl chloride pipe into drinking water, and (v) bioaccumulation, biomonitoring and the toxicity of organotin compounds to aquatic biota"--Abstract, p. v.
