The sample preparation procedure along with the applied SPME-GC-pyrolysis-AFS system was validated by measuring certified reference materials (CRM) BCR-464, TORT-2, and a candidate CRM BCR 710. To carry out an estimation of average Hungarian methylmercury exposures via marine fish and/or fish-containing food consumption, 16 commercially available products and 3 pooled representative seafood samples of-according to a previous European survey-the three most consumed fish species in Hungary, herring, sardines, and hake, were analyzed. Methylmercury concentrations of the analyzed samples were in the range 0.016-0.137 mu g of MeHg g(-1) dry weight as Hg.}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1520-5118}, pages = {5499-5505}, orcid-numbers = {Abrankó, László/0000-0002-0160-7280} } @article{MTMT:30393739, title = {A comparison of alkyl derivatization methods for speciation of mercury based on solid phase microextraction gas chromatography with furnace atomization plasma emission spectrometry detection}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30393739}, author = {Grinberg, P. and Campos, R.C. and Mester, Zoltán and Sturgeon, R.E.}, doi = {10.1039/b212545e}, journal-iso = {J ANAL ATOM SPECTROM}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {30393739}, issn = {0267-9477}, abstract = {Several derivatizing agents were evaluated for use in speciating mercury in biological samples using solid phase microextraction in conjunction with tandem gas chromatography-furnace atomization plasma emission spectrometry (SPME-GC-FAPES). Following digestion with methanolic potassium hydroxide, the pH of the samples was adjusted and NaCl added when necessary. The mercury species were then derivatized with sodium tetraphenylborate or sodium tetrapropylbqrate and extracted by SPME using a 100 um PDMS coated fiber. The derivatized species were then separated by GC and detected by FAPES. All experimental parameters were optimized for best separation and analytical response. Propylation proved to be more sensitive, robust and faster than ethylation or phenylation, leading to procedural detection limits of 0.55 ng g-1 for methylmercury, 0.34 ng g-1 for ethylmercury and 0.23 ng g-1 for inorganic mercury. An intra-day and intra-fiber precision of typically 2.2% was achieved whereas long-term (4 months) and inter-fiber reproducibility precision was typically 4.4%. The accuracy of the method was validated by the analysis of Certified Reference Materials (DORM-2, DOLT-2 and TORT-2) from the National Research Council of Canada. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2003.}, keywords = {SPECIATION; Gas chromatography; PLASMAS; Mercury (metal); Emission spectroscopy; Atomization}, year = {2003}, eissn = {1364-5544}, pages = {902-909}, orcid-numbers = {Mester, Zoltán/0000-0002-2377-2615} } @article{MTMT:30393749, title = {Solid phase microextraction capillary gas chromatography combined with furnace atomization plasma emission spectrometry for speciation of mercury in fish tissues}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30393749}, author = {Grinberg, P. and Campos, R.C. and Mester, Zoltán and Sturgeon, R.E.}, doi = {10.1016/S0584-8547(02)00272-0}, journal-iso = {SPECTROCHIM ACTA B}, journal = {SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA PART B-ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY}, volume = {58}, unique-id = {30393749}, issn = {0584-8547}, abstract = {The use of solid phase microextraction in conjunction with tandem gas chromatography-furnace atomization plasma emission spectrometry (SPME-GC-FAPES) was evaluated for the determination of methylmercury and inorganic mercury in fish tissue.
