Stability of Mercury in Seawater Samples

Abstract

The results of a test of sample stability for the determination of mercury in seawater are reported. Acidification (6 ml per litre of concentrated nitric acid) is shown to be an adequate method of preservation for mercury in clean seawater samples at concentrations in the range 1–50 ng Hg l - 1 .
