Soil quality — Determination of mercury — Cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS)

Qualité du sol — Dosage du mercure — Spectrométrie de fluorescence atomique à vapeur froide (CVAFS)

Abstract / scope

ISO/TS 16727:2013 specifies a method for the determination of mercury in aqua regia or nitric acid digests of sludge, treated biowaste and soil, obtained according to ISO 11466 or ISO 16729 using cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The lower working range limit is 0,003 mg/kg (dry matter).
