System for the ultra-trace quantitative chemical speciation of mercury compounds

汞化合物是有毒的环境污染物，是人类食物链中最高度生物放大和生物积累的痕量分子之一。尽管几十年来各国政府一直强调汞化学形态分析的必要性，各公司也进行了多次尝试，但目前还没有商业技术能够由最终用户在常规基础上进行详细的大气或水生汞化学形态分析。虽然痕量金属形态分析技术已经存在了几十年，但很少有实验室拥有将这些技术应用于各种商业应用的专业知识。随着对信息更准确性的需求的增长，对痕量金属形态的需求也会增加。许多政府最近制定了环境空气监测计划，以应对对环境污染的担忧。

Mercury compounds are toxic environmental pollutants that are amongst the most highly bio-magnified and bio-accumulated trace molecules in the human food chain. Despite a couple of decades of emphasis by governments on the need for mercury chemical speciation, and several attempts by various companies, there is no commercial technique present to be able to perform detailed atmospheric or aquatic mercury chemical speciation on a routine basis by an end-user. While analytical techniques for trace metals speciation have been around for decades, few laboratories possess the expertise to apply these techniques for various commercial applications. As demand for more accuracy in information grows, so will the need for trace metals speciation. Many governments have recently instituted ambient air monitoring programs in response to concerns about
