Abstract
Methods for the reliable determination of butyltin compounds in sediments a re required for both national and international marine monitoring programme s. This evaluation of current:commonly used approaches to the analysis iden tifies critical aspects of extraction, derivatisation, clean-up, separation , standardisation and detection with the objective of improving the analyti cal capabilities both of experienced laboratories and of those addressing t he problems for the first time.
