Abstract

Abstract The isotope exchange technique was applied to the analysis of milligram and microgram quantities of organic mercurials, with emphasis on pharmaceuticals and fungicides of an agricultural nature. Average recovery was 98.48 ± 1.12% for Hg-203 in equilibrium with chemical mercury. In comparison studies, the isotope exchange procedure showed essential agreement with standard techniques for mercury determination. At low levels, traces of mercury via glassware contamination were observed to interfere. The digestion system was found to be applicable to most organic mercurials studied except ethyl mercuric phosphate and three commercial fungicides.
