Um método simples e robusto para a determinação de Hg em amostras ambientais por espectrometria de absorção atômica com geração de vapor frio diretamente de suspensões ácidas é proposto. Após redução do tamanho das partículas da amostra para ≤ 50 μm em gral de ágata, dois procedimentos foram utilizados para a preparação das suspensões: com 6,7% v/v de ácido nítrico ou 10% v/v de água-régia mais...

  ABSTRACT Background and Objective: There have been concerns over possible association between mercury and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants. In this study we aimed to determine whether blood levels of mercury are above safe values in Iranian infants or not. Materials and Methods:  A total of 85 infants (0, 2, 4 and 6 months old) were enrolled in this study. All of them received vaccin...

sReceived 26 July 2004; accepted 9 November 2004; published online 20 January 2005d We show that low partial pressures of water vapor s10−5 Pad dramatically increase the intensity of neutral Na and Cl emissions from cleaved, single-crystal NaCl during pulsed laser irradiation at 248 nm sKrF excimerd. The time-of-flight distributions of these emissions are consistent with thermal desorption from...

In the present study, Mercury (Hg) accumulation in different tissues of Yellowfin seabream under different Hg concentrations in the medium were investigated. For this, PurPuse 45 fish specimen of the same size (19.2±1.8cm and 134.0±36.1 g) were caught from Musa Estuary, in northwest of the Persian Gulf and transferred to the laboratory. Fish were divided into five different groups of 9 fish ...

OBJECTIVE Exposure to mercury can occur in occupational and environmental settings. During clinical work with dental amalgam, the dental personnel are exposed to both metallic mercury and mercury vapor. The aim of the present study was to investigate blood mercury level (BML) and its determinants among dentists practicing in Hamadan city, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross sectional study...

The anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) was investigated to determine total mercury in solid samples using a gold electrode. deposited on the electrode preconcentration step. oxidation peak of irreversible. optimal conditions procedure were found be as follows: 0.05 mol L?1 HCl solution, deposition potential ?0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl/KCls, time 40 s, and sweep rate 0.04 s?1. Under conditions, current s...

background and aim(s): since it is possible for carbamide peroxide (cp) bleaching agent to contact with amalgam restorations in the oral cavity, the present in vitro study evaluated the amount of dissolved mercury released from amalgam restorations with various percentages of silver content subsequent to the use of 15% cp. materials and methods: thirty ana 2000 amalgam disks with 43.1% silver c...
