High-purity reference materials for precise residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Tributyltin chloride (TBTCl) is an organotin compound commonly used as a biocide. It is primarily employed in marine antifouling paints to prevent the growth of algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms on ships and underwater structures.

Uses

TBTCl is widely used in marine applications, including ship hulls, docks, and fishing nets. It is also used in wood preservation, textiles, and industrial water systems.

Regulatory

Due to its toxicity and environmental persistence, the use of TBTCl has been heavily regulated. Many countries have imposed bans or severe restrictions on its use, particularly in marine environments.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of TBTCl levels in marine and freshwater environments is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to protect aquatic life. Analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are commonly used for this purpose.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to TBTCl can have serious health effects, including skin and eye irritation, respiratory issues, and potential endocrine disruption. Long-term exposure may lead to more severe health problems.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

TBTCl is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, affecting the reproductive and developmental processes of fish, mollusks, and other marine life. It can also bioaccumulate in the food chain, posing risks to higher trophic levels.

Safety Measure

Appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling TBTCl, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper ventilation. Spills should be contained and cleaned up immediately to prevent environmental contamination.

Regulation

International bodies such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have established guidelines and regulations to limit the use of TBTCl in antifouling paints. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for environmental protection.

Analytical Standards

Our high-purity reference materials for TBTCl are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials ensure accurate and reliable results, helping to meet international quality requirements and regulatory standards.
