single toxicant before it, yet one that has now been brought under
effective control-at least in estuaries and the nearshore
environment. The problem with TBT and its cause was first
recognized in France, then in the United Kingdom and the United
States of America; and in these and other countries legislation is
now in place (see Abel, Chapter 2; Champ and Wade, Chapter 3), but
in many countries the hazard is only now being identified. This
volume has the important function of making available to all a
summary of the results of work on TBT and the main conclusions. It
will help to minimize the duplication of research and speed the
introduction of legislation around the world to control organotin
pollution. It is the more valuable because research on TBT has
often been published in less accessible journals and symposium
proceedings. This volume brings together accounts of these findings
by the major contributors to the TBT story, providing the most
comprehensive account to date. The TBT problem has proved to be
instructive in a number of different ways beyond the bounds of the
specific issue (Stebbing, 1985). Most important is that TBT can be
seen as a challenge to monitoring systems for nearshore waters, by
which it can be judged how effective monitoring has been in
fulfilling its purpose, and what improvements should be made. Most
instructive was the time it took to bring TBT under control.
