Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of mercury in the tissues of five species of freshwater fish from Lake Mead, USA.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the usefulness of a solid sampling approach in trace element monitoring, especially as pertaining to in vivo analysis, analysis of a large number of samples and reduction of contamination risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of total mercury in human hair and animal fur by combustion atomic absorption spectrometry.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that analyzers based on combustion-AAS are suitable for wide-scale monitoring of Hg in human hair and animal fur.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mercury concentrations in fish from Lake Mead, USA, related to fish size, condition, trophic level, location, and consumption risk.

TL;DR: Total mercury concentrations were determined in the skeletal muscle of 339 fish collected during the fall of 1998 and spring of 1999 from Lake Mead, USA, the nation's largest human-made reservoir, and are consistent with starvation-concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of Total Mercury in Fish Tissues using Combustion Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with Gold Amalgamation

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and rapid procedure for measuring total mercury in fish tissues is evaluated and compared with conventional techniques using an automated instrument incorporating combustion, preconcentration by amalgamation with gold, and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence of Microplastic Pollution at Oyster Reefs and Other Coastal Sites in the Mississippi Sound, USA: Impacts of Freshwater Inflows from Flooding.

TL;DR: This work provides much-needed empirical data on the abundances, morphologies, and types of MPs that oysters are exposed to in the Mississippi Sound, although how much of these MPs are ingested and their impacts on the organisms deserves further scrutiny.
