Abstract
A rapid method for the determination of mercury in sediments, suspended solids and soils is described. Many of the complications of existing cold vapour AAS analysis have been eliminated while retaining acceptable accuracy, precision and detection limit. The productivity is greater than 100 samples per day.Keywords
