The release of mono-and di-butyltin species (MBT and DBT) in water after leaching of five different poly(viny1 chloride) (PVC) materials was investigated under mild conditions over a period of one month in batch reactor systems. Results showed that inorganic tin, MBT and DBT compound were released from the material tested under experimental static leaching conditions. The total amount of inorganic tin and organotin compounds observed upon leaching varied considerably from one PVC material to another.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
