EPA 906.0 Determination of Mercury in Water by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The determination of mercury in water by cold vapor atomic absorption is a critical analytical technique used to measure the presence and concentration of mercury ions in aqueous samples. This method is governed by various international and national standards, which ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.

The relevant standards that govern EPA 906.0 Determination of Mercury in Water by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption testing include:

  • ISO 10352:2007: Determination of mercury content in water - Method using atomic absorption spectrometry with cold vapor generation

  • ASTM D6722-01: Standard Test Method for Determining Mercury in Water Using Cold-Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

  • EN 1939:2006: Determination of the total mercury concentration in drinking water by means of atomic absorption spectrometry using a cold-vapour technique

    • These standards outline the requirements and procedures for conducting this test, including sample preparation, testing parameters, and measurement methods. They also specify the calibration and validation procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.

    In addition to these standards, various regulatory agencies have established guidelines and regulations for mercury analysis in water. For example:

  • EPA Method 906.0: Determination of Mercury in Water by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

  • US EPA Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality: Maximum allowable levels for mercury in drinking water (40 CFR Part 141)

    • The development and maintenance of these standards are overseen by standard development organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

    These organizations work together to ensure that standards are updated regularly to reflect advances in technology and changes in regulatory requirements.

    The determination of mercury in water by cold vapor atomic absorption is essential for various industries, including:

  • Water treatment plants: To monitor and control the levels of mercury in treated water

  • Environmental monitoring: To assess the impact of mercury on aquatic ecosystems

  • Industrial processes: To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and minimize environmental harm

    • Conducting this test provides several benefits, including:

  • Compliance with regulations: Ensures that industrial processes meet or exceed regulatory standards for mercury levels in wastewater

  • Product safety: Prevents the release of mercury into the environment, protecting human health and ecosystems

  • Cost savings: Identifies areas where mercury emissions can be reduced, minimizing costs associated with treatment and cleanup

  • Quality assurance: Verifies that products and processes meet or exceed quality standards

    • The consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Non-compliance with regulations

  • Environmental harm and ecosystem damage

  • Financial losses due to treatment and cleanup costs

  • Loss of customer confidence and reputation

    • Conducting the EPA 906.0 Determination of Mercury in Water by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption test involves several steps:

    1. Sample preparation: Collects and prepares water samples for analysis

    2. Calibration and validation: Calibrates and validates the instrument using certified reference materials

    3. Measurement: Measures the concentration of mercury ions in the sample using atomic absorption spectrometry with cold vapor generation

    The testing equipment and instruments used include:

  • Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS): Analyzes the absorbance of light by mercury ions

  • Cold vapor generator (CVG): Converts mercury ions into a gas that is then measured by the AAS

  • Sample preparation equipment: Collects, prepares, and stores water samples

    • The testing environment requirements include:

  • Temperature: 20C 5C

  • Humidity: 50 10

  • Pressure: Atmospheric pressure

    • Eurolabs laboratory test report will provide detailed information on the analysis, including:

  • Sample identification: Unique sample code and description

  • Methodology: Description of the testing procedure used

  • Instrumentation: Details of the equipment and instruments used

  • Results: Concentration of mercury ions in the sample

  • Calibration and validation data: Certified reference materials used for calibration and validation

    • The report will also include a certification statement, which confirms that the results are accurate and reliable.

    Performing the EPA 906.0 Determination of Mercury in Water by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption test provides numerous benefits, including:

  • Compliance with regulations: Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements for mercury levels in wastewater

  • Product safety: Prevents environmental harm and ecosystem damage

  • Cost savings: Identifies areas where mercury emissions can be reduced, minimizing costs associated with treatment and cleanup

  • Quality assurance: Verifies that products and processes meet or exceed quality standards
