“…Many methods have been reported for the determination of mercury such as high chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC/ICP-MS) [13,14], gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) [2,15], graphite furnace atomic adsorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) [5,16,17], cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS) [3,9,18,19], cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CV-AFS) [4,20,21], chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (CVG-AES) [22], UV-Vis spectrophotometric [23,24], and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Compared to the ASV methods, the HPLC-MS and GC-MS methods require complex sample preparations and the use of toxic organic solvents (e.g., methanol and acetonitrile), and the analytical is also more complex.…”
