Introduction: "Organometallic species (i.e. compounds,
complexes or ions) may be found in the natural environment either because
they are formed there or because they are introduced there" [1].
The occurrence of major toxicological impacts of some organometallic
compounds, e.g. methylmercury on man in Minamata (Japan) or tributyltin
on marine life has led to the necessary development of analytical techniques
for the determination of a wide variety of compounds in different environmental
matrices. In addition to the necessity of monitoring of these compounds,
their identification allows a better understanding of the bio- and geochemical
pathways of metals in the environment.
The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss the major techniques
used for the determination of organotins. It presents the advantages
and pitfalls at each step of an analytical procedure including the sample
collection.
