Gb. Jiang et al., Speciation analysis of organotin compounds in lard poisoning accident in Jiangxi Province, China, SCI CHINA B, 43(5), 2000, pp. 531-539
Samples including organotin contaminated lard, urine, blood, and main organ
s of the poisoned bodies were collected in the incident which took place in
Longnan and Dingnan counties, Jiangxi Province, China around the new year'
s day of 1999. The organotin compounds in these samples were identified and
determined by gas chromatography-flame photometric detector (GC-FPD), gas
chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and inductively coupled plasma-mas
s spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Experiments confirmed that tri- and dimethyltin ar
e the main components that caused the poisoning accident. Monomethyltin, di
octyltin and inorganic tin were also found in several samples.
