Abstract:Identification and quantification of mercury flows in Turkey are essential for better policy development regarding to the implementation of water-related legislation. To this end, substance flow analysis (SFA) of mercury in Turkey was conducted in order to identify and quantify mercury releases to different environmental compartments and help policy decision makers to better understand their options to reduce mercury flows. For the quantification of mercury flows, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Me… Show more
“…5,6 Most countries around the world have strengthened the control of mercury emission and pollution through legislation. [7][8][9][10][11] The Minamata Convention on Mercury clearly iden-ties the need to control and reduce global mercury emissions. 12,13 Therefore, the quantitative analysis of mercury in the environment is of great signicance.…”
In this work, a highly sensitive method for the determination of mercury was developed, based on direct-current atmospheric pressure glow discharge in helium (He) atomic emission spectrum (APGD-AES) coupled with...
