	ATSDR - ToxFAQs™: Tin
		Tin metal, and inorganic and organic tin compounds can be found in the air, water, and soil near places where they are naturally present in the rocks, or where they are mined, manufactured, or used.
		Tin is released into the environment by both natural processes and human activities, such as mining, coal and oil combustion, and the production and use of tin compounds.
		Inorganic tin binds to soil and to sediments in water.
