Internal report / Water Quality Centre, HamiltonSummary: The effects and fate of toxicants in antifouling paints is reviewed. Antifouling paints are a major source of copper in harbours. Tributyl tin compounds may be exerting toxic effects in water and sediments some distance from boats and slipways, where spent paint is flushed into harbour sediments. It is recommended that a survey be undertaken on the amounts of different paints used and on the number and densities of boats, at permanent moorings and during summer cruising.
