Abstract

A sensitive gas chromatographic method for the determination of methyl-mercury concentrations in milliliter samples of whole blood is described. The method employs oxalic acid as a hydrogen ion source, potassium iodide as a halide ion source, sodium hydroxide to remove unwanted impurities and radioactive 203Hg for the precise calculation of recovery. Ethylene glycol succinate (2%) on a solid support of Chromosorb G or Chromosorb T was used as column packing. The advantages and disadvantages of both these packing materials are discussed.
