An improvement of the extraction recovery of the MBT species from sediment has been achieved by using a more polar solvent, toluene, and tropolone as chelating agent. The extraction solution also recovers satisfactorily seven other commonly used organotin compounds. Analyses of selected environmental samples and the Reference Sediment PACS-1 are given.
