Introduction: Tributyltin (TBT) is an organotin compound used in various industrial applications, primarily as an antifouling agent in marine paints. It has faced increasing scrutiny due to its adverse environmental effects and potential health risks. TBT compounds, including tributyltin oxide (TBTO), are known for their toxic properties and have been a subject of concern for their environmental impact and harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems.
