TOXICOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC MERCURY COMPOUNDS’ DETECTION IN ENVIRONMENT
It was considered the ways of coming in an environment and a harmful effect on a human health of compounds of mercury and products of its decomposition. It was also listed methods of detection of compounds of mercury that could be contained in potable water, foodstuff, biological fluids and in the air after quicksilver has hit the environment. To confirm existence of mercury compounds in things around it was advised to use the method of chromatograph in a thin layer of sorbent, exploiting for it the combination of three systems of dissolvents and range of reagents. Method of thinlayer chromatograph makes it possible examine extracts from different things without pre cleaning due to it profound resolution ability, high sensitivity and speed of separation.
