| Abstract |
Analysis of phthalate esters, tin and organotin compounds and aquatic bioassays were conducted in the Chester River, a subestuary of Chesapeake Bay. No point source bioassays showed mortality of organisms. Analysis of phthalate esters in alluvial sediments showed a decreasing trend downstream from a point source effluent. Tin, microorganisms resistant to tin and microorganisms capable of transforming inorganic tin to organotin(s) were present at sampling sites. No signficant field mortality of oysters were observed. Additional monitoring for phthalate esters is recommended. |
