Determination of methylmercury in fish samples using GC/AA and sodium tetraethylborate derivatization.

A simple technique is described for the rapid determination of methylmercury in fish tissue. Following simple dissolution in methanolic KOH solution, aqueous phase ethylation by derivatization with NaB(C2H5)4, cryogenic trapping on a packed chromatographic column, and GC separation, volatile mercury species are detected by atomic absorption spectrometry. Absolute detection limits are 4 pg of Hg for CH3Hg+ and 75 pg of Hg for labile Hg2+. Concentration detection limits for this optimized procedure are 4 ng of Hg for CH3Hg+ and 75 ng of Hg for labile Hg2+ per gram of pulverized dried fish tissue. Analysis of standard reference materials demonstrates the accuracy, precision, and reproducibility of the analytical method.
