Evaluation of Mercury Environmental Pollution Based on Luminescence Analysis

Abstract

The contents of total mercury and dissolved mercury in the water samples and soil samples around the Qin Shihuang mausoleum in Lintong District of Xi'an were measured by cold atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The results showed that the amount of mercury contained in the soil of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum and the surrounding soil was between 41.41-2248.08 ng/g, and the total mercury content (2.04-124.4 ng/L) in the water samples was lower than that in the drinking water (1000 ng/L) of the World Health Organization.
