  • Title: Use of background correction to improve the accuracy of the selective reduction method for determining methyl mercury in fish.
    Author: Chvojka R, Kacprzak JL.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1979 Sep; 62(5):1179-81. PubMed ID: 528468.
    Abstract:
    Background correction is used with a previously published flameless atomic absorption method for the concurrent determination of inorganic and methyl mercury. The use of background correction simplifies the procedure, but, more importantly, eliminates errors in mercury readings due to broad band absorption by other volatile compounds produced during the determination.
