Sediments indicate the continued use of banned antifouling compounds
J Egardt, P Nilsson, I Dahllöf - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017 - Elsevier
Antifouling paints are widely used to avoid organisms settling on boat hulls. The active
ingredients in the paints have differed over the years where lead, TBT, irgarol and diuron …
