This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of mercury in drinking,surface,ground and rain water using atomic fluorescence spectrometry.The potential linear dynamic range is approximately 1 ng/l to 100μg/l.In practice,the working range is often from 10ng/l to 10μg/l.Samples containing mercury at concentrations higher than the working range can be analysed following appropriate dilution of the sample.The method detection limit(xDL) will be dependent on the selected operating conditions and calibration range.With high purity reagents,a xDL of less than 1 ng/l is obtainable.The relative standard deviation is typically less than 5%for c
