Butyltin compounds (BTs), namely tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT), were measured in surface sediments collected in 2001 inside Hallim Harbor where a lot of shipping occurs as one of major harbors of Jeju Island, in order to evaluate their distribution. BTs were detected in surface sediments of all stations and their concentrations were comparable to those in surface sediments of other sites of domestic and foreign countries. The main species among BTs was MBT, although there was a little difference with a survey site. No correlations were obtained between organic matter or particles size of surface sediments and total BTs, indicating that these factors did not affect on the distribution of BTs. It was estimated that more complex factors including BTs loads and surrounding sedimentary environments, affected on the distribution of BTs. The high correlations between BTs indicated that DBT and MBT were mainly degraded from TBT based on antifouling paints of vessel etc. and other sources, such as DBT and MBT, could be ignored. The butyltin degradation indexes ([DBT] + [MBT]/[TBT]) Ivere in the range of 1.5∼3.3 (mean 2.5), indicating that the parent compound, TBT, were inflowed into the surface sediments a long years ago and degraded.

IMO (International Maritime Organization)와 한국은 2003년을 기점으로 하여 TBT의 사용을 전면 금지 하였다. 이 금지를 통하여 몇몇 나라에서는 해양환경(바닷물, 퇴적물, 굴)에서 TBT의 오염도가 차츰 감소되고 있는 것을 확인 하였다. 본 연구에서는 2003년 규제 이후 TBT의 오염도를 확인 하기 위하여 Crassostrea gigas(굴) 및 Tapes philippinarum(바지락)을 선택 하여 부틸주석화합물(butyltin compounds)의 농도를 측정하였다. Crassostrea gigas 및 Tapes philippinarum 가 생산되는 농장 및 주요 TBT 오염이 예상되는 지점에서 시료를 직접 채취하여 농도를 측정하였다. 각각 측정된 농도는 Crassostrea gigas의 경우 MBT, DBT와 TBT가 각각 N.D. -N.D., N.D. -N.D., N.D. -60.21 ng Sn $g^{-1}$ (wet wt)으로 측정 되었다. Tapes philippinarum의 경우 MBT, DBT와 TBT가 N.D. -12.27, N.D. -45.95, N.D.-7.30 ng Sn $g^{-1}$ (wet wt)로 각각 측정이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 TBT 오염도 감소를 확인 하기 위하여 1994년도에 측정된 동일 지역의 Crassostrea gigas의 부틸주석 화합물의 농도 대하여 비교조사를 해보았다. 조사결과 비교대상 7개 지점 샘플 중에 모든 샘플에서 TBT가 감소 추세를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이 중 4개 지점 샘플은 butyltin compounds가 검출한계 이하로 측정이 되었다. Tapes philippinarum의 경우도 외국 연구자료와 비교하여 볼 때 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Contamination of butyltin compounds (BTs), namely tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT), was evaluated in sediments collected inside Jeju Harbor in 2001. The concentrations of BTs in surface sediments were comparable to those in other sites of domestic and foreign countries. The high correlations between BTs in surface ($r^2$ = 0.83~0.91) and core ($r^2$ = 0.70~0.79) sediments and the significant correlations between BTs concentrations and the number of incoming and outgoing vessels indicated that DBT and MBT were mainly degraded from TBT based on antifouling paints of vessels etc. and other sources, such as DBT and MBT, could be ignored. The butyltin degradation indices ([DBT] + [MBT]/[TBT]) in surface sediments were in the range of 2.2~3.6 (mean 2.7), indicating that the parent compound, TBT, was inflowed into the surface sediments a long ago, degraded and deposited. The sedimentation age of BTs contaminated core sediments could not estimated because the content of $^{210}Pb$ activity was nearly all the same and so the sedimentation rate could not obtained.

Butyltin compounds (BTs), namely tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT), were measured in surface and core sediments collected in 2001 inside Seogwipo Harbor, in order to evaluate their distribution characteristics. Seogwipo Harbor is one of major harbors of Jeju Island where a lot of shipping occurs and is designated as a trade port by the Korea Maritime and Port Law. BTs were detected in surface and core sediments of all stations and their concentrations in surface sediments were low, compared with to those in other sites of domestic and foreign countries. The main species among BTs was MBT, although there was a little difference with a survey site in surface sediments and in core sediments with depth. No or low correlations were obtained between organic matter or particles size of surface and core sediments and total BTs, indicating that these factors did not affect the distribution of BTs. It was estimated that more complex factors including BTs loads and surrounding sedimentary environments, affect the distribution of BTs. The high correlations between BTs indicated that DBT and MBT were mainly degraded from TBT based on antifouling paints of vessel etc. and other sources, such as DBT and MBT, could be ignored. The butyltin degradation indices ([DBT]+[MBT]/[TBT]) in surface sediments were in the range of $2.0\~3.8$ (mean 3.0), indicating that the parent compound, TBT, were inflowed into the surface sediments a long years ago, degraded and deposited. The sedimentation age of BTs contaminated core sediments could not estimated because the content of $^{210}pb$ activity were nearly all the same and so the sedimentation rate could not obtained.

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method has been developed for the determination of trace mono-n-butyltin (MBT), di-n-butyltin (DBT), and tri-n-butyltin (TBT) compounds in sediments. Samples were extracted by 10% acetic acid in methanol containing 0.03% tropolone and were then derivatized for GC/MS analysis. Ethylation by sodium tetraethylborate and phenylation by sodium tetraphenylborate were evaluated as a derivatization reaction of the organotins in sample extract. n-Hexane was added into reaction media in the beginning of the reaction for the continuous extraction of derivatized organotins. Ethylation requires less than 2 hours to get proper derivatization yields for MBT, DBT, and TBT altogether and produces relatively low amounts of side reaction products. Compared to ethylation, phenylation requires much longer time but provides relatively lower yield and produces considerable amounts of side reaction products. Therefore, the ethylation reaction was applied for the analysis of organotin compounds in sediment. An isotope dilution mass spectrometric (IDMS) method based on GC/MS has been applied to the accurate determination of DBT compounds in the sediments. The IDMS results from the analyses of sediment samples showed a reasonable repeatability and a good agreement with the values obtained by IDMS based on liquid chromatography/induced coupled plasma/mass spectrometry.

TBTCl과 bisphenol A (BPA)가 등줄쥐의 번식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여, 등줄쥐를 비번식기에 포획하여 번식기 직전에TBTCl과 BPA를 근육 주사한 후, 4개월 간 사육하였다. 그 결과, 암 수 모두 체중 증가량에 차이가 없었고, 수컷 체내의 각 화합물의 체내 잔류량, 성체와 새끼(F1) 수컷에 대한 생식소중량지수(GSI) 및 정소와 부정소의 광학 및 전자현미경 조직상이 대조군과 별다른 차이점을 보이지 않았다. 그러나 TBTCl 투여군에서는 출생한 태아의 사망 빈도가 높고, BPA 투여군에서는 유산율이 대조군에 비해서 높았다. 이로부터, 비번 식기의 성체 등줄쥐에게 TBTCl과 BPA를 단기간 투여했을 때, 이들 물질은 체내에 장기간 잔류하지 않으며, 성체 및 다음 세대 수컷의 생식기관에 영향을 미치지 않지만, 수태된 태아의 발생을 저해하는 물질임이 밝혀졌다.

Tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) were quantitatively determined in surface sediments and two molluscan species, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and rock shell (Thais ctavigera), from Gwangyang Bay, Korea. Butyltin compounds were detectable in almost all sediment and biota samples. Tributyltin concentrations in surface sediment ranged<2∼33 ng g$\^$-1/, which is at a lower end of TBT concentrations in industrialized bays in Korea. However, TBT levels in sediments were related to boating activities around the bay. In biota samples, TBT concentrations were in the range of 178∼2,458 ng g$\^$-1/ toy oyster and 47∼236 ng g$\^$-1/ for rock shell. Relatively high TBT concentrations in biota were found near wharves for fisherboats and harbor areas. About 90∼100％ of the female T. clavigera displayed imposex, and relative penis length index of the imposexed-female was in the range of 20.9∼107.9％. Furthermore, TBT body residue had a significant positive relationship with degree of imposex in T. clavigera. Overall, TBT concentrations in Gwanyang Bay were much lower than other major bays in Korea.

Butyltins (BTs) were measured in 2 species of shellfish and 16 species of fish collected along the Korean coast. Tributyltin (TBT) was detected in the mussels and oysters of sentinel organisms (20 to 940 ng Sn/g dry wt), indicating widespread contamination of TBT in the Korean coast. The elevated concentrations of TBT in the shellfish found in the sites near harbors or shipyards suggested that antifouling paints are probable major sources of butyltins in these areas. The TBT compound was detected in 12 out of 16 fish samples. The concentrations of TBT in fish muscles wee between 7 and 151 ng Sn/g dry wt, while the level in whole body of anchovy was very high (793 ng Sn/g dry wt). Exposure doses to Korean people via consumption of these marine products wee evaluated. The results suggested that the environmental levels of TBT were below the level of concern.

유기주석화합물의 사용금지와 새로운 방오도료제의 사용으로 한국의 연안 환경은 매우 많은 변화를 겪었다. 1998년도에 측정된 서남해안 갯벌이 있는 동일한 지역을(8지역) 기준으로 하여 유기주석화합물 및 새로운 방오도료제의 농도를 8지역에 주변까지 포함하여 총 39지점을 2006년도에 측정하였다. 2006년도의 TBT의 농도는 인천 (It1)을 제외한 대부분의 지역에서 1998년에 비해 상당히 감소되었다. 제부도(Jt2),목포(MOt4)그리고 순천(SUt3)에서는 검출한계 이하로 검출되었다. 이것은 2003년 한국내에서 TBT화합물의 사용금지에 기인한 결과로 예측 할 수 있다. 하지만 한국의 대부분의 샘플링 지역에서 새로운 방오도료제인 Irgarol 1051, Dichlofluanid과 Chlorothalonil이 검출되었다. 이 중 특히 Irgarol 1051은 한국 연안에서 높은 농도로 검출되었다. 제부도 (Jt4)에서는 Irgarol 1051이 159.45 ng $g^{-1}$(dry wt)로 검출되어 측정지점 중 가장 높게 검출이 되었다. 이 결과로 볼 때 2003년을 기점으로 한국 연안에서의 TBT화합물은 점진적으로 감소 추세에 있고, 새로운 방오도료제가 쉽게 검출됨을 알 수 있었다.
