Total mercury, monomethylmercury (CH3Hg), and dimethylmercury ((CH3)2Hg) in edible muscle were examined in 229 samples, representing seven freshwater and eight saltwater fish species and several species of marine invertebrates using ultraclean techniques. Total mercury was determined by hot HNO3/H2SO4/BrClldigestion, SnCl2 reduction, purging onto gold, and analysis by cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS). Methylmercury was determined by KOH/methanol digestion using aqueous phase ethylation, cryogenic gas chromatography, and CVAFS detection. Total mercury and CH3Hg concentrations varied from 0.011 to 2.78 μg∙g−1 (wet weight basis, as Hg) for all samples, while no sample contained detectable (CH3)2Hg (<0.001 μg∙g−1 as Hg). The observed proportion of total mercury (as CH3Hg) ranged from 69 to 132%, with a relative standard deviation for quintuplicate analysis of about 10%; nearly all of this variability can be explained by the analytical variability of total mercury and CH3Hg. Poorly homogenized samples showed greater variability, primarily because total mercury and CH3Hg were measured on separate aliquots, which vary in mercury concentration, not speciation. I conclude that for all species studied, virtually ail (>95%) of the mercury present is as CH3Hg and that past reports of substantially lower CH3Hg fractions may have been biased by analytical and homogeneity variability.

Kinetic Features

Environmental Context. Iron is an essential element for life in the world's oceans, and in some regions its concentration limits the growth of phytoplankton. The amount of iron(iii) which is available to an organism depends on the exact chemical form in which it exists, for example as dissolved ions or associated with organic compounds. There are widespread reports that marine iron(iii) is predominantly bound in extremely strong complexes. We show that such claims might be the result of an artefact of the measurement technique, CLE-AdSV. Ensuing ideas about the iron biogeochemistry in marine systems might require reconsideration as well. Abstract. Iron(iii) speciation data, as determined by competitive ligand exchange?adsorptive stripping voltammetry (CLE-AdSV), is reconsidered in the light of the kinetic features of the measurement. The very large stability constants reported for iron(iii) in marine ecosystems are shown to be possibly due to an artefact of the technique, arising from the assumption that equilibrium is achieved between all iron(iii) species of relevance. Particular kinetic properties, related to the special nature of hydroxide as a metal complexant, have the consequence that CLE-AdSV measurements of iron(iii) in seawater generally correspond to the hydroxide complexes only. By the same token, dissolved hydroxide complexes are the key components of the bioavailable iron(iii) pool. The analysis presented herein opens opportunities to exploit CLE-AdSV for more rigorous investigation of the links between the speciation and the bioavailability of iron(iii).

The electrode(Ni-MWNTs) containing nickel(Ni) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) was prepared by composite electrodeposit. Electrochemical hydrogen storage of the electrode was studied. The result showed a high electrochemical discharging capacity of up to 1361.1mA·h·g-1, which corresponds to a hydrogen storage capacity of 4.77Wt%(weight percent). Test of cyclic lifespan showed MWNTs had certain cyclic lifespan. Cyclic voltammetry tests showed that MWNTs can store hydrogen in chemical form.
