Sledování koncentrace rtuti v ovzduší v Ústí nad Labem

Original language description

This study is focused on the observation of mercury pollution of the atmosphere in the city of Ústí nad Labem. The biggest source of the polluting mercury in Ústí nad Labem is the chlor-alkali production in the factory of Spolchemie Inc. The method of mercury determination applied is based on capturing the mercury contented in a volume of the air on an amalgamator and measuring the mercury by an atomic absorption spectrometer (Perkin -Elmer 4100ZL) equipped with a special adaptor after a thermal releaseof the mercury from the amalgamator. The basic characteristics of this method were evaluated; e.g. the limit of detection and limit of determination are, respectively, 0,43 and 1,4 ng/m3, the relative expanded uncertainty is 28 %. The work gives resultsof long-term (1998-2006) observations in a few localities in Ústí nad Labem situated in various distances from the mercury source (e.g. means of 28,6 and 14,1 ng/m3 were obtained, respectively, in places 350 and 700 m far from the electr
