Mercury Detection Sensor

*Abstract

Mercury is a major threat to the environment and to human health. As such, it is highly desirable to develop a user-friendly kit that can be used on site to detect mercury. Ultimately, such a method must be able to detect mercury below the threshold levels for drinking water, 1/2 ppb. Toward this goal, investigators at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a fluorescence method based on the oxymercuration of vinyl ethers to detect mercury in dental and environmental samples. This probe is not affected by interfering chlorine ions and can detect 1ppb mercury ions in water. Application* Mercury DetectionAdvantages* Can detect mercury at a 1ppb level in water* Small enough to carry and can test mercury levels on site
