✦ Synopsis


An analytical method is described for methylmercury determination in fish and aqueous samples using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by gas chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (GC-AFS). The procedure involves aqueous-phase derivatization of methylmercury species with sodium tetraethylborate in a sample vial and subsequent extraction with a silica fiber coated with poly-(dimethylsiloxane). The mercury derivatives are desorbed in the splitless injection port of a gas chromatograph and subsequently analyzed by GC-AFS. The headspace SPME procedure is used and parameters affecting the extraction, adsorption and desorption are evaluated. Results for methylmercury analysis in standard reference material (DORM-2) and fish samples are presented.
