Abstract
A procedure for the analysis of mercury in water, air, and biological fluids is described. Sensitivity and reliability data are presented. The procedure is simple, fast, economical, and reliable. It is a method which is adaptable to the analysis of mercury in any medium that lends itself to liquefication and/or the release of elemental mercury by aeration, and it is equally applicable as a permanent analytical system in the laboratory or in the field as a portable testing device.
