Abstract
Following radiochemical analysis of microamount of mercury in hot spring water in 45 places in Beppu spa, mercury content in dried sludge and solution was determined by radiochemical analysis with Kon-ya sulfur sludge which was found to have the effect of accelerating urinary excretion of mercury during hot spa treatment of alkylmercury toxicosis. The content of mercury in the sulfur sludge was 15.4 ppm in dried sludge and more than 14.6 μg/liter of mercury is in liquated state in the natural hydrated sludge (liquation rate, 9.5%). This result indicates that the mercury present is much greater than that in other soils or in spa water.
