Observation of unusual organic mercury species in soils and sediments of industrially contaminated sites.

摘要: Several industrial sites in Germany and a mining area Slovenia were studied for the occurrence of organic mercury compounds. These included former fungicide plant, chlor alkali an acetaldehyde warehouse phenylmercury chloride-treated seeds. Besides methylmercury compounds, which have been found at all above-mentioned locations, various organomercury species detected. Among them ethylmer-cury, methoxyethylmercury, In addition, three that not identified yet. Analyses carried out by newly developed HPLC/AFS method, allows determination CH 3 Hg + other than methylmercury.
