This authoritative volume reviews the environmental chemistry and
toxicological effects of a marine pollutant of exceptional potency,
tributyltin (TBT), and outlines the international response to
control TBT. TBT compounds have been widely utilized in marine
anti-fouling paint formulations to obtain increased fuel
efficiencies and long lifetimes for maritime vessels and
structures. However, its extreme toxicity has resulted in numerous
adverse biological effects, and its persistence ensures that such
problems are likely to continue. A wide variety of disciplines are
brought together to illustrate the general principles, pathways and
problems involved in identifying and quantifying an environmental
toxin, elucidating deleterious biological consequences, and the
legal framework that can invoke mitigation via regulation. This
text not only has wide appeal for undergraduate courses in
environmental science, chemistry and marine ecology, but also forms
a valuable sourcebook for environmental planners and serves as a
'successful' case study for undergraduate courses in environmental
law, planning and science.
