7. 5. Mercury species transformations in marine and biological systems studied by isotope dilution mass spectrometry and stable isotope tracers

   Author : Lars Lambertsson; Wolfgang Frech; John Munthe; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; Mercury; methylmercury; ethylmercury; Thimerosal; speciation; methylation; demethylation; brackish water sediment; natural waters; GC-ICP-MS; species-specific isotope dilution; isotope enriched tracers; Analytisk kemi; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry;
