The present study focusses on the spatial distribution and chemical speciation of organotin compounds in Alexandria coastal belt sediments. Surface sediments were collected by a Van Veen Grab, and analyzed by HDAAS for tributyl-, dibutyl-, monobutyl-, trimethyl-, dimethyl-, monomethyl-tins, and inor
## Concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products, monobutyltin (MBT) and dibutyltin (DBT), were determined in the liver and kidney of striped dolphins ( Stenella coeruleoalba), bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus) and in a fetus of the common dolphin (Delphinus delphi) found
