[Tin-organic compounds and their biocidal properties].

The authors studied the disinfecting action of the vapour of tributyltin oxide in the aerosol chamber and came to the conclusion that the tin-organic compounds possessed a wide buicidal action, still inadequately used in practice. The mentioned vapour served as a disinfectant only in the presence of water vapour. Tribytyltin oxide (0.15% concentration) displayed an ovicidal action on the ova of Ascaris suum. Tributyltin laurate produced a good insecticidal effect on Musca domestica.
