Abstract

The recent interest in mercury (Hg) in drinking water and in the edible portion of fish prompted the State Hygienic Laboratory to evaluate this significant quality p:irameter on a statewide basis. All values ore reported using cold vapor atomic absorption technique after sulfuric acid-permanganate digestion for water samples and sulfuric acid-nitric acid predigestion followed by nitric-perchloric digestion for fish.
