  abstract = {{T}he aim of this study was to investigate the fate and behaviour of butyltin pollutants, including monobutyltin ({MBT}), dibutylin ({DBT}), and tributyltin ({TBT}), in waste stabilisation ponds ({WSP}). {T}he study was conducted as part of a baseline survey and included five sampling campaigns comprising bottom sludge and the water column from each pond from a typical {WSP} in {F}rance. {B}utyltins were detected in all raw wastewater and effluents, reflecting their widespread use. {O}ur results revealed high affinity between butyltins and particulate matter and high accumulation of butyltins in the sludge taken from anaerobic ponds. {T}he dissolved butyltins in the influent ranged from 21.5 to 28.1 ng({S}n).{L}-1 and in the effluent, from 8.8 to 29.3 ng({S}n).{L}-1. {T}he butyltin concentrations in the sludge ranged from 45.1 to 164 and 3.6-8.1 ng({S}n).g(-1) respectively in the first and last ponds. {O}ur results showed an average treatment efficiency of 71% for {MBT}, 47% for {DBT}, 55% for {TBT}. {L}aboratory sorption experiments enabled the calculation of a distribution coefficient ({K}d = 75,000 {L}.kg-1) between {TBT} and particulate matter from the {WSP}s. {T}he {K}d explained the accumulation and persistence of the {TBT} in the sludge after settling of particulate matter. {T}he continuous supply of contaminated raw wastewater and the sorption-desorption processes in the ponds led to incomplete bio- and photolytic degradation and to the persistence of butyltins in dissolved and particulate matrices throughout the survey period. {I}t is thus recommended to use shallow ponds and to pay particular attention when sludge is used for soil amendment.},
