Bibliography

Defines a method for the determination of tributyltin (TBT) in whole water samples. Pertains to the analysis of TBTs in surface water, which may contain suspended particulate matter (SPM) up to 500 mg/l (whole water samples), ground water, surface water and sea water.

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of tributyltin cation (TBT) in whole water samples. It is applicable to the analysis of TBT in surface water, which may contain suspended particulate matter (SPM) up to 500mg/l (whole water samples), groundwater, drinking water and seawater. The working range is 0,04ng/l to 20ng/l. The LOQ will be mainly determined by the blank value obtained during validation of this method. NOTE1 The method has been successfully applied to seawater samples during method development, but sea water samples were not included in the interlaboratory comparison. NOTE2 In this document TBT is synonymous for tributyltin cation. NOTE3 Near the lower limit of the working range the measurement uncertainties may be higher.
