A very adaptable class of organometallic compounds the organotin are employed in both industrial and agricultural settings. The aquatic environment is contaminated by leaching and discharge from the increased usage of substances like agricultural pesticides that contain organotin. The detection of organotin compounds in environmental sample points to a significant rise in the usage of items containing organotin, which has an adverse effect on all aspects of ecosystems and has resulted in a worldwide ban on its use. Many studies have been conducted on the presence of organotin compounds in environmental sample data. The origin, health risks and speciation of organotin chemicals to humans are covered in this publication. Numerous types of organotin compounds have been detected in a range of environmental samples, despite the primary theory regarding the sources being the use of these compounds as biocides in antifouling paints. The use of organotin compounds as fungicides, glass coatings, catalysts and PVC thermos-stabilizers are the primary sources of these pollutants. People may be exposed to organotin compounds through the accumulation of these compounds in sea sediment or marine life, such as fish, shells and squid. The predominance of parent chemicals (tributyltin and triphenyltin) in sediment, biota and seawater samples may be a sign of recent imports and their slow breakdown. Organotin compounds such as triphenyltin, tributyltin, dibutyltin and methyl butyltin are less prevalent in developed countries than in developing ones because the health risks related to their use are managed. Therefore, it is imperative to monitor for organotin contamination from large shipping vessels.
