Metrology for traceable protocols for elemental and oxidised mercury concentrations

Protocols for traceable measurements of mercury to meet legislation obligations and protect human health.

Environmental mercury poses a threat to human, animal and environ-mental health. Robust, defensible and traceable measurements of mercury concentrations are essential to control and reduce the concentration of mercury in the environment, meet the obligations of legislation and to protect human health.

Project develops protocols for traceable calibration, evaluation and certification of mercury gas generators used in the field.

VTT MIKES evaluates the performance of existing mercury gas generators and develops a certification protocol for mercury gas generators.
