2. 1. Microbial Transformation of Organotin Compounds under Simulated Landfill Conditions

   Author : Annika Björn; Bo Svensson; Jörgen Ejlertsson; Bo Mattiasson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organotin compounds; landfill simulation; PVC; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Abstract : Mono- and di-alkyltins are used extensively as heat stabilizers for processing of poly vinyl chloride (PVC). Tin mercaptide stabilizers are some of the most effective PVC stabilizers available. The main applications for tin stabilizers are building/construction products, such as pipes, fittings, siding and profiles (windows etc. READ MORE

4. 2. Occurrence and environmental risk assessment of antifouling paint biocides from leisure boats

   Author : Maria Lagerström; Ann-Kristin Eriksson Wiklund; Erik Ytreberg; Kent Salo; Andrew Turner; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antifouling paint; XRF; leisure boat; recreational boating; copper; zinc; tributyltin; organotin compounds; risk assessment; biocide; metals; release rate; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : The use of biocidal antifouling (AF) paints is the most common way to prevent fouling on leisure boat hulls. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the pathways through which AF biocides, past and present, may reach the environment through their use on leisure boats and to improve the risk assessment of biocidal AF paints intended for amateur use.

5. 3. Speciation analysis of butyl- and phenyltin compounds in environmental samples by GC separation and atomic spectrometric detection

   Author : Dong Nguyen Van; Wolfgang Frech; Anders Cedergren; Erwin Rosenberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organotin speciation analysis; species-specific isotope dilution; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry; single isotope spike; multi-isotope spike; redistribution; species transformation; preparative liquid chromatography; gas chromatography; line source atomic absorption spectrometry; continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : The main goal of the work presented in this thesis is to improve the reliability of existing methods for speciation analysis of organotin compounds Species-specific isotope dilution (SSID) calibration in combination with gas chromatography – inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to investigate the transformation of phenyltin species during sample preparation. Isotope-enriched phenyltin species were synthesized from corresponding isotope-enriched tin metals. READ MORE

6. 4. The role of the mitochondrion in organotin-induced T-cell apoptosis

   Author : Hélène Stridh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Apoptosis plays a central role in the development and the function of the immune system. The cell death program can, however, be inappropriately activated or suppressed under pathological conditions. Several toxins have been shown to interfere with intra-thymic processes, thereby contributing to autoimmune disorders. READ MORE

7. 5. Liquid Membrane Techniques for Trace Metal Analysis and Speciation in Environmental and Biological Matrices

   Author : Kuria Ndung'u; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; Pb and Organotin species; MMLLE; SLM; GC MS; PSA; GFAS; FAAS; ICP-MS; Speciation; DEHPA; Aliquat-336; trace metals; Cr III ; Cr VI ; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : In this thesis, liquid-membrane-based methods for the analysis of trace metal species in samples of environmental and biological origin were developed. By incorporating extracting reagents in the membrane liquid, trace metal ions were selectively separated from humic-rich natural waters and urine samples, prior to their determination using various instrumental techniques.
