Both anthropogenic and natural sources are responsible for the release of mercury (Hg) in
the environment. Mercury accumulation in the environment has been a topic of continuing …

This review considers methods for mercury speciation with low limits of detection that can be
applied to real aquatic environmental samples (waters, sediments, biological tissues) …

Trace element analysis has a key role to play in quality control of food and diet. This timely
book introduces the subject in a practical way-from sampling and the techniques available …

Mercury (Hg) can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and digestive system,
but also through the skin. Sources of Hg in the environment can be natural processes, but …

Atomic spectrometry remains one of the most powerful methods for the determination of the
elements and their compounds in a wide variety of types of samples and in widely differing …

The impact of historical use of mercury (Hg) for the extraction of gold was assessed in
watersheds from an abandoned mine in Randfonetin, a town located at 45 km west of …

A procedure for the extraction and determination of methyl mercury and mercury (II) in fish
muscle tissues and sediment samples is presented. The procedure involves extraction with …
