A Passive Integrative Sampler for Mercury Vapor in Air and Neutral Mercury Species in Water.

Entry ID: usgsbrdcerc_mercurysampler

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: A passive integrative mercury sampler (PIMS) based on a sealed polymeric
membrane was effective for the collection and preconcentration of Hg0. Because
the Hg is both oxidized and stabilized in the PIMS, sampling intervals of weeks
to months are possible. The effective air sampling rate for a 15 x 2.5 cm
device was about 2 liter equivalents/day (0.002 m3/day) and the detection limit
for 4-week ...
