| dc.description | This is the first volume in the UNEP/WHO Environmental Health Criteria series containing a preliminary review of environmental health aspects of a group of chemicals. Such reports are prepared in accordance with the second objective of the WHO Environmental Health Citeria Programme to identify new or potential pollutants by preparing preliminary reviews on health effects of agents likely to be used in industry, agriculture, in the house, and elsewhere" (WHO, 1976). Organometallic tin compounds are being used in increasing amounts for a variety of applications and the annual world production has risen from less than 50 tonnes in 1950 to about 25 000 tonnes in 1975. One of the main applications is the use of dialkyland, to a much lesser extent, monoalkyltin compounds in the stabilization of poly(vinyl chloride). Other applications include the use of tributyltin compounds as industrial biocides and surface disinfectants and the use of triphenyltin and tricylohexyltin compounds as agricultural fungicides and agricultural acaricides. | en |
