Sources, consumer exposure and risks of organotin contamination in seafood

Deliverables

An Excel-based database for eleven countries combining the TBT levels obtained with consumption patterns, preparation ways, consumer data, relevant import and export data and possible other sources of TBT exposure: - Data on organotin concentration levels in seafood have been collected by analysing important (in terms of consumption and organotin accumulating properties) seafood species in European countries. - Data on seafood import and export have been collected in European countries. - Data on seafood consumption and consumers have been collected in European countries. - Data on seafood preparation methods have been collected in European countries. - Data on other TBT exposure sources have been collected in European countries. The afore-mentioned data have been made available through an Excel file on the project website.
Maximum residue levels for TBT (tributyltin) in seafood have been proposed, based upon the seafood consumption data as collected in the project and the TDI (tolerable daily intake, 0.25 microgram per kilogram body weight per day) as formulated by the World Health Organisation.
Data on organotin (tributyltin) concentration levels in seafood (fish, bivalves, gastropods, crustaceans, etc.) have been collected from scientific publications and reports in European countries and made available through an Excel file on the project website.
