Introduction to the Organotin Environmental Programme (ORTEP) Association. In 1972, the International Tin Research Institute, in cooperation with global major producers of organotin compounds, set up at the Organic Chemistry Institute of the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands, an environmental research program to establish analytical methods for detecting trace amounts of organotin compounds. This work was published and enabled the first studies of mechanisms of degradation under laboratory and environmental conditions. At the conclusion of this research in 1978, companies from America, Europe, and Japan whose operations involved production of organotins founded the ORTEP Association. This organization established a database of technical and environmental information relating to organotin compounds, currently maintained in England.
