Determination of mercury in fish by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry using an automatic mercury analyzer

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The concentration of mercury in fish samples from the Atlantic coast of Ghana was determined using a simple, rapid and accurate method. A mixture of HNO3, HClO4 and H2SO4 was used for complete oxidation of organic tissue. Mercury is detected by the cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry technique using an automatic mercury analyzer developed at the National Institute for Minamata Disease (NIMD). In total, 56 s...
