ABSTRACT
A sensitive analytical technique was developed where gaseous mercury formed by sodium tetrahydroborate reduction is transported to and trapped on a resistively heated gold-coated Tungsten-coil atom trap for in situ preconcentration. This technique was applied successfully for determination and speciation of methyl mercury and total mercury in some fish tissue samples (liver, muscle and gill) obtained from Mugla province. The analytical parameters were optimized both for trap and no-trap studies. Under the optimized conditions, a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.0 ng/L was obtained. The precision was evaluated by relative standard deviation (RSD%) corresponding to 4.1% (n = 11). Accuracy of the proposed method was evaluated by analyzing "DOLT5 Dogfish Liver", "NIST SRM 1640a Trace elements in natural water" and "NIST 1946 Lake Superior fish tissues". The measurements of the certified reference materials were in good agreement with the certified values at the 95% confidence level.
