How do you analyze mercury in soil?

Conventionally, to analyze mercury in soils and sediments, the samples need to be digested in acid and are then analyzed us- ing either cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy (CVAA) or an ICP system.

How do you balance mercury levels?

Drinking more water: Mercury is also eliminated in , so drinking extra water can help to speed up the process. Avoiding exposure: The best way to get rid of mercury in your body is to avoid sources of it whenever you can. As you reduce your exposure, the level of mercury in your body will decrease as well.

How do you analyze low level mercury?

The WHO has set 6g/l as the health based guideline value. The EU Drinking Water Directive sets a limit of 1g/l. The Private Water Supply regulations require regular monitoring for mercury where it is present at more than 75% of the PCV.

How do you evaluate mercury exposure level?

The most commonly accepted methods of assessing mercury exposure are to test or blood. Both tests usually measure levels of total mercury (elemental, inorganic and organic). Elevated mercury in usually indicates exposure to an elemental or inorganic source of mercury, such as from a job that uses mercury.
