![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Isotope dilution analysis mass spectrometry for the routine measurement of butyltin compounds in marine environmental and biological samples Isotope dilution analysis mass spectrometry for the routine measurement of butyltin compounds in marine environmental and biological samples](/preview/png/1228541.png)
The highly qualified primary method of species-specific isotope dilution analysis has been employed in this work to evaluate for the first time the levels of butyltin compounds in the estuary of the river Eo (Northwest Spain) where there is, since many years, a high oyster farming activity. A spike solution containing mono-, di- and tributyltin enriched in 119Sn allowed the simultaneous determination of the three compounds in different marine environmental and biological samples collected in this area (seawater samples, sediments and biological tissues of four different marine species). The results obtained in this work showed toxic TBT levels for many marine species in 45% of the seawater samples analyzed whereas significant organotin concentrations were found to be obtained only in one of the sediments analyzed. On the other hand, TBT levels ranging from 20 to almost 200 ng g− 1 (dry weight) were obtained in the different biological tissues analyzed demonstrating the bioaccumulation of organotin compounds in certain marine species.
