Federally Sponsored Qrganotin Research 

 Projects for Federal Fiscal Years 1986-1988 



U.S. Navy (for specific research descriptions, see NAVSEA, 1986) : 



Four major areas: (1) Harbor Monitoring and Modeling, (2) Analytical 

 Methods, (3) Drydock Operations and Discharges, and (4) Environmental 

 Studies. Specific Studies:

o Monitoring of Organotins in Navy Harbors During Initial Paint 

 Implementation 



o Monitoring of Organotins with Remotely moored, Automated Samplers 



o In-Situ Organotin Release Rate Studies from Ship Hulls 



o Harbor Modeling 



o Improved Analytical Methods for Drydock Discharge Studies 



o Improved Procedures for Measuring Organotin Release Rates 



o Improved Analytical Methods for Water and Sediment 



o Drydock Clean-up Technologies 



o Reduce Drydock Waste Generation 



o Drydock Wastewater Collection 



o Drydock Discharge Monitoring 



o Drydock Waste Treatment 



o Organotin Degradation in Wastewater Treatment Plants 



o Toxicity Studies 



o Food Chain Effects
