Abstract:
The analytical method using ethylation, gas chromatography–cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (GC–CV AFS), combined with different pretreatment procedures, has been used for the determination of methylmercury (MeHg) in various aqueous and solid environmental samples. Different types of samples with varying matrices and MeHg concentration levels require different pretreatment procedures in order to isolate/separate MeHg from the sample matrix, and to overcome interferences in the ethylation reaction process. Limitations of different pretreatment procedures (solvent extraction into methylene chloride, distillation under nitrogen flow and alkaline digestion) are discussed and recommendations are given. The influence of the quality of the ethylating reagent on the analytical results is also examined.
