A sequential injection vapor generation atomic absorption spectrometric (SI-VGAAS) method for the determination of mercury and arsenic was developed, characterized by reagent merging using a double-syringe pump and a multi-position selector valve. A sample throughput of 120 h-1 was achieved with 500 microL sample with a precision of 2.2% for mercury at 8.0 micrograms.L-1 (n = 11) and 1.4% for arsenic at 6.0 micrograms.L-1 (n = 11) levels and a detection limit of 0.15 microgram.L-1 for mercury and 0.07 microgram.L-1 for arsenic. The method was applied to the analysis of geochemical standard reference material GSS-5, and good agreement with the certified values were obtained.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008628 Mercury A silver metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature. It has the atomic symbol Hg (from hydrargyrum, liquid silver), atomic number 80, and atomic weight 200.59. Mercury is used in many industrial applications and its salts have been employed therapeutically as purgatives, antisyphilitics, disinfectants, and astringents. It can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes which leads to MERCURY POISONING. Because of its toxicity, the clinical use of mercury and mercurials is diminishing.
D001151 Arsenic A shiny gray element with atomic symbol As, atomic number 33, and atomic weight 75. It occurs throughout the universe, mostly in the form of metallic arsenides. Most forms are toxic. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), arsenic and certain arsenic compounds have been listed as known carcinogens. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Arsenic-75,Arsenic 75
