✦ Synopsis

Triorganotin compounds can interact with various segments of natural water systems. In sediments, for example, these compounds can undergo speciation, and can also become injurious to benthos. The interactions of tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) compounds with sediments have been studied using extraction techniques in addition to directly observing these compounds in sediments using Mossbauer spectroscopy. The effect of these compounds on benthos has also been examined. The results of these studies are reviewed with particular regard to studies on sediments from the Chesapeake Bay, USA.

## Abstract Non–point‐source pollution is an increasing source of stress to aquatic, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Such pollution may be of unknown etiology, distributed over extensive spatial scales, and comprised of multiple stressors. Current stressor‐based paradigms for ecological risk asse
