Determination of organotinn contaminations in mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis)

Abstract

In this study organotinn content were analyzed in Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the Bosporus. The analysis was performed using GC-FPD in Mussel samples in the period Mai-September. TBT level were of 14.1291 mu g/kg and 21.7401 mu g/kg in August and September tissue respectively. These concentrations are considered to be a potential hazard to health.
