• Antifouling agents
• Butyltin compounds
• Chlorothalonil
• Dichlofluanid
• Irgarol 1051

Diverse new antifouling agents are being used as replacements for the organotin compounds that are currently being banned. A comprehensive study on Korea's major seaports was conducted between 2006 and 2009 to assess the concentrations of butyltin compounds and new antifouling agents (chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid, Irgarol 1051). The constituents of the pollution due to antifouling agents in major seaports on the Korean peninsula are shifting from butyltin compounds to new antifouling agents. Also, the distribution of traditional butyltin compounds has centered on the east and west coasts, and the new antifouling agents have polluted the south and east coasts. With the results of this study, our lab was able to identify key locations within Korea where focused pollution control of antifouling agents is necessary.
