Metrology for oxidized mercury

  • Rajamäki, Timo (Manager)

Project: EU project

Project Details

Description

New traceable measurements for reactive forms of mercury.
  
Mercury is one of the most toxic metals. Traceable calibration methods for oxidized mercury species are needed in order to meet the requirements of EU regulation.
  
Project develops traceable standards and methods for analyzing oxidised Hg in stack emissions and in the atmosphere.

VTT MIKES tests and validates new and existing standards and methods for on-line and sorbent based oxidized mercury measurements in stack gas emissions.
