摘要
When air containing CH3HgY (Y stands for a monovalent anion) is bubbled through pure water (MQ), part of the airborne CH3HgY, depending on the actual distribution constant (air/water), will be retained in the liquid phase. The resulting concentration, although usually very low, is now in many cases possible to determine, using the very sensitive analytical procedure developed by Bloom and Fitzgerald (1988). By means of an evaluation method, described in this paper, the concentration data, obtained in this way, can be used to give the average original concentration of CH3HgY in the air which had entered the bubbler and its distribution constant (air/water) as well.
