Abstract
Sediment samples were taken in the River Elbe at different sites between Lutherstadt-Wittenberg (upstream of the River Mulde) and Cuxhaven (River Elbe estuary). The sample preparation was carried out using the `sodium tetraethylborate methode`. The ethylated and therefore peralkylated organotin compounds were identified and quantified by on-line GC-AAS. In the investigated areas organotin compounds were present in all sediments. Different sources and sinks were recognized. From characteristic `organotin patterns` it was possible to differentiative diverse sources of pollution. On this basis the sediments of the River Elbe could be divided into certain groups: - Immission of organotin species from anti-fouling paints of shiphulls and dockyards - inputs from industrial plantes in the area of Bitterfeld. The total content of organotin species in the sediments of the River Mulde, a tributary of the River Elbe which receives the waste water of the chemical plants in Bitterfeld, was determined to be more than 20 mg Sn per kg dry weight. Unexpectedly, tetrabutyltin was also found to be present, and amounted to 14 mg Sn per kg dry weight. In some case it was even found to be the dominant component. (orig.)
