Butyltin Concentration Measurements in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Pearl Harbor Case Study

Abstract

This report summarizes environment butyltin concentrations in marine samples collected from the Pearl Harbor area during April 1986 through January 1988 as part of a series of follow-up studies to the baseline survey of March to April 1984. Additionally, studies to evaluate the loading of tributyltin in Pearl Harbor from naval activities were conducted as part of the testing and monitoring program mandated by Congress prior to approval for fleetwide implementation of tributyltin-based antifouling coatings. Analytical results for mono-, di, and tributyltin concentrations in seawater, sediment, and oyster tissue samples are reported with supporting field collection information. Keywords: Antifouling paints; Antifouling coatings; Water pollution. (KT)
