Tin, Sn

Assessment of light intensity and salinity regimes on the element levels of brown macroalgae, Treptacantha barbata: Application of response surface methodology (RSM)

“…Several studies stated that this seaweed could absorb a high amount of chromium and nickel from the seawater (Niemiec et al, 2015;Simeonova & Petkova, 2007). Although tin known as an essential trace element for some animals, the necessity for the human is still unclear (Tomza-Marciniak et al, 2019). Tin in the marine environment is usually found in the form of organic tributyl-tin (TBT) complex (Feldstein et al, 2003), which is mostly used for in paints for ships due to their antifouling feature (Takahashi et al, 2000).…”

Highly Selective and Sensitive Ratiometric Detection of Sn2+ Ions Using NIR-Excited Rhodamine-B-Linked Upconversion Nanophosphors

“… 5 − 8 Tin doses of more than 130 mg/kg have been seen to accumulate in the kidneys, bones, and spleen. 9 − 11 Tin(II) ions can induce diarrhea and DNA damage in the respiratory, reproductive, nervous, and digestive systems. Nausea, vomiting, and upper respiratory tract discomfort are all symptoms of moderate tin poisoning.…”

“…It is used in both organic and inorganic forms, with applications as diverse as antifouling paints, agrochemicals, poly­(vinyl chloride) (PVC) stabilizers, catalysts, biocides, etc. Owing to such widespread use, over the last few decades, an excessive amount of inorganic and organic tin has been released into the environment, as a result of which it is found in large amounts in the air, water, and soil. − When these metal ions reach the human body through the food chain, they have a major detrimental influence on health and induce a variety of ailments. − Tin doses of more than 130 mg/kg have been seen to accumulate in the kidneys, bones, and spleen. − Tin­(II) ions can induce diarrhea and DNA damage in the respiratory, reproductive, nervous, and digestive systems. Nausea, vomiting, and upper respiratory tract discomfort are all symptoms of moderate tin poisoning. − Acute tin poisoning can result in permanent renal tubule damage and various neurological alterations leading to disorientation, confusion, and memory loss, as well as severe epileptic seizures. − Therefore, methods of monitoring tin ion concentrations in environmental and biological samples are essential.…”

Recent advances in tin ion detection using fluorometric and colorimetric chemosensors

“…29–31 Despite its significant role, excessive tin accumulation can result in gastrointestinal complaints (like nausea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting and diarrhea), immune system malfunctions, chromosomal damage, urination problems, illness and drowsiness, stomach problems, liver failure, skin and eye irritation, headaches, and breathlessness. 32–35 In 2011, Ghaffari et al reported the in vitro impacts of numerous metals, including tin, on sperm creatine kinase and found that it lowers sperm metabolism, which is thought to be a cause of male infertility. 36 Again, tin was found to be particularly toxic to human embryonic kidney cells.…”
