A calibration system for producing known concentrations of mercury vapor in air. 1979

E P Scheide, and E E Hughes, and J K Taylor

This paper describes the construction and evaluation of a system capable of producing well-defined test mixtures of mercury in air, or other diluent gas, at mercury concentrations between zero and 16 mg/M3. The various parameters that affect the generation system and their interactions are discussed and data is given for the calibration of several different mercury monitors.

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.
