Methods used for trace (sub-ppm) detection of mercury are reviewed. Included are
spectrometric methods such as atomic absorption, fluorescence, emission, and mass …

The different strategies for mercury species analysis in environmentally-related samples are
reviewed. After consideration of the main different steps involved in the speciation of …

An improvement has been made in previous mercury speciation methods, which omits the
use of liquid nitrogen by modifying the GC conditions. In addition, the sometimes observed …

Various extraction techniques, as distillation, acid and alkaline extraction, have been tested
with regard to their potential to form a monomethylmercury (CH 3 Hg+) artifact from inorganic …

The use of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tertiary amines and strongly alkaline reagents
for sample treatment involving extraction and digestion procedures is discussed in this …

A novel technique for the calculation of mercury methylation rates in sediments by using
enriched stable mercury isotopes is described. The method takes advantages of the ability of …

The bioaccumulation of mercury in the food webs incorporating the major piscivorous fish
species of Lake Murray, Papua New Guinea, has been characterised. Methylmercury …

A rapid and simple microwave-assisted digestion method with alkaline solution (
tetramethylammonium hydroxide or methanolic KOH solution) for speciation analysis of …

We developed a method for the simultaneous determination of monomethyl mercury
(MMHg), inorganic mercury [Hg (II)], and total mercury (THg) in biological materials. A variety …

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS), using an inductively coupled plasma quadrupole
mass spectrometer (ICPMS) and a species-specific methylmercury spike was applied to …
