Background: Dental clinics are known to be one of the largest users of Toxic inorganic mercury. It is well documented that dentists and dental assistants who work with amalgam are chronically exposed to mercury vapor. This study investigates exposure to mercury vapor in a dental clinic. Methods: GBC cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), using sodium borohydride as the reducing age...

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...

exposure to mercury (hg) as a heavy metal can cause health effects. the objective of this study was to assess occupational exposure to hg in a chlor-alkali petrochemical industry in iran by determining of hg concentrations in air, blood and urine samples.the study was performed on 50 exposed subjects and 50 unexposed controls. air samples were collected in the breathing zone of exposed subjects...

A novel solid phase extractor for preconcentration of cadmium at ng L−1 levels has been developed. Cadmium ions were retained on a column packed with sulfur powder modified with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) in the medium of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim]+PF6−) ionic liquid. The presence of ionic liquid during modification of sulfur enhanced the retention of cadmium i...

A commercially available direct mercury analyzer (DMA) based on sample combustion, pre-concentration by amalgamation with gold, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) was coupled to a sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The combined system (DMA-ICP-MS) was optimized and evaluated for the determination of mercury in environmental samples using both external...

have continued to use the same analytical system (that is, the same sample preparation and decomposition methods, with atomic absorption spectroscopy as the final determination step) to determine 13 elements in stream and lake sediments collected for the RGS program. In the early 1980s, simultaneous determination of 30 elements or more by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-ES...

Mercury or mercury (Hg) is a type of metal as an organic and inorganic compound that can be found in nature spread rocks, ores, soil, water air. the body detected biological materials such urine, blood, breast milk hair. This study aims to analyze content toxicity samples hair, urine with various analytical methods including CV-AAS, AAS, CV-AFS, ICP-MS, FI-CV-AAS, Analyzers. Data collection was...
