ABSTRACT
Mercury is a known neurotoxin that is particularly harmful to children and unborn fetuses.
Consumption of contaminated seafood is one major route of mercury exposure. We have
successfully optimized one protocol to determine mercury in seafood products by atomic emission
spectrophotometry (AES) with following conditions: speed current NaBH 1% in 6 ml per minute,
NaOH 0.5% in 2 ml per minutes, HCl 6M has the same speed current with NaBH4 as the reduced
medium, linear range 0.2 - 10ppb, LOD = 0.04ppb, LOQ = 0.15 ppb (CV<10%).
Keywords: Mercury, analysis, seafood, atomic emission spectrophotometry
