| Abstract: | It is essential to address sample stability in trace-element analysis. This article reviews factors affecting the stability of inorganic mercury and methylmercury in distilled water, organic solutions, environmental samples and biological samples during storage. It discusses several possible proposed mechanisms for losses of mercury species, and various reported approaches for prevention of such losses. The loss mechanisms and the ways of preserving mercury species have been the subjects of much controversy. More effort should be made to solve the problems associated with the stability of mercury species. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
