Antifouling paint particles: Sources, occurrence, composition and dynamics
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
Sources, occurrence, composition and dynamics of antifouling paint particles (APPs) were assessed in Patos lagoon estuary (PLE), Southern Brazil. Ten areas including boatyards, a marina and artisanal fishing harbors were ...
From TBT to booster biocides: Levels and impacts of antifouling along coastal areas of Panama
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018)
Antifouling biocides in surface sediments and gastropod tissues were assessed for the first time along coastal areas of Panama under the influence of maritime activities, including one of the world's busiest shipping zones: ...
Imposex and butyltin contamination still evident in Chile after TBT global ban
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
Imposex in gastropods (Acanthina monodon, Oliva peruviana and Xanthochorus cassidiformis), butyltin levels in surface sediments (Coquimbo and Concepcion) and tissues (Valparaiso and Concepcion) were assessed in three areas ...
Antifouling booster biocide extraction from marine sediments: a fast and simple method based on vortex-assisted matrix solid-phase extraction
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018)
This paper reports the development of an analytical method employing vortex-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) for the extraction of diuron, Irgarol 1051, TCMTB (2-thiocyanomethylthiobenzothiazole), DCOIT ...
Assessment of organotins and imposex in two estuaries of the northeastern Brazilian coast
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
Butyltin compounds (BTs) were used worldwide, especially because of their properties as biocides. Due to its high toxicity, the use of tributyltin (TBT) in antifouling paints has been prohibited in most countries. The ...
Antifouling booster biocides in coastal waters of Panama: First appraisal in one of the busiest shipping zones
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016)
A baseline study for antifouling booster biocides in coastal waters of Panama is presented. Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) was used for extraction and Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied for ...
Sex steroid imbalances in the muricid Stramonita haemastoma from TBT contaminated sites
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016)
Imposex incidence, organotin tissue levels, and sex steroid (free and esterified testosterone and estradiol) levels were assessed in Stramonita haemastoma from Babitonga Bay (Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil). The ...
Distribution and bioaccumulation of butyltins in the edible gastropod odontocymbiola magellanica
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
Butyltins (BTs) were found in sediments and body tissues of the edible gastropod Odontocymbiola magellanica, in which imposex has been recorded since 2000. BTs in sediments ranged from < MDL to 174.8 ng (Sn) g(-1) for TBT, ...
Spatiotemporal appraisal of TBT contamination and imposex along a tropical bay (Todos os Santos Bay, Brazil)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016)
A spatiotemporal evaluation of butyltin contamination was performed between 2010 and 2012 along Todos os Santos Bay (Northeast Brazil) using surface sediments, bivalve tissues (Anomalocardia brasiliana and Mytella guyanensis), ...
Butyltin contamination in Northern Chilean coast: Is there a potential risk for consumers?
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)
Imposex is the superimposition of non-functionalmale sex organs in gastropod females. This syndrome is a hormonal imbalance induced by tributyltin (TBT) which have been used in antifouling paints formulation. The present ...
