[Assessment of an extraction-photometric method of determining mercury in urine]. 1989

N B Kozlov, and D G Kuznetsov, and P F Iakushev, and L M Smirnova

Experimental trials of the extraction photometry of the urine mercury have shown that this method is not sensitive enough to detect the mercury concentrations in human urine in health. Even if the mercury concentrations are detectable with this method, the results are unrepeatable because of the inadequacy of the extraction technique. This makes extraction photometry unacceptable for measuring the urine mercury concentrations at clinical laboratories.

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.
