scope:
The standard specifies two methods for the determination of mercury. In the one method tin(II)chloride is used as reducing agent and in the other, sodium tetrahydroborate is used. The choice of method depensd on the equipment available and the matrix. Both methods are suitable for the determination of mercury in water, for example in ground, surface or waste water, in the concentration range from 0,1 µg/l to 10 µg/l. Higher concentrations can be determined if the water sample is diluted.
