Standard methods for mercury speciation analysis

(03.05.2013)

Standard methods for speciation analysis have been developed, validated and approved by standardization bodies for special application fields.

Existing standard methods for mercury speciation analysis

Application field	Method	Reference
Methylmercury in water	Ethylation, CV-AFS	US EPA: 1630
Methylmercury and total mercury in seafood	HPLC-ICP-MS	US FDA: EAM 4.8
Methylmercury in seafood	Extraction, elemental analysis	EU IRMM IMEP-115
Mercury speciation in soils, sediments	Selective extraction	US EPA: 3200
Methylmercury in water	Ethylation, GC-AFS	USGS OFR_01-445
Metal species in water, waste extracts	speciated IDMS	US EPA: 6800
