In this paper, a novel colorimetric biosensor for Hg[Formula: see text] is presented based on Hg[Formula: see text] stimulated peroxidase-like activity of hollow porous gold nanoparticles (HPGNPs). Under mild conditions, HPGNPs show high catalytic activity toward the oxidation of 3, 3[Formula: see text], 5, 5[Formula: see text]-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) using H2O2 as an oxidant. The peroxidase-like activity of HPGNPs is “switched-on” selectively in the presence of Hg[Formula: see text], which permitted a novel and facile colorimetric sensor for Hg[Formula: see text]. This method exhibits many merits like high selectivity and sensitivity. As low as 18.5[Formula: see text]nM Hg[Formula: see text] could be determined at a linear range from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M. This method is successfully applied for the determination of total mercury content in tap water and Yellow River which indicates that the method has a great potential for the routine determination of Hg[Formula: see text] in environmental samples.

Abstract We have established the optimal conditions for use of sodium borohydride as the reducing agent before the direct determination of mercury in water, urine, and blood by atomic absorption spectroscopy. We evaluated the effects of pH, temperature, and cupric sulfate concentration on the direct determination of both organic and inorganic compounds of mercury. Accurate and precise quantification of mercury requires that the pH be between 9.3 and 9.5, the reaction temperature above 25 degrees C, the reaction time longer than 1 min, and, for urine samples only, the cupric sulfate concentration 10 mumol/L. The detection limit of the method is 1 to 2 ng and the precision (CV) is 3.8% for blood and 4.0% for urine.

The number of amalgam-covered surfaces and the occlusal area of the fillings, the concentrations of total mercury in plasma, erythrocytes and urine, the urinary excretion rate, and the absorbed daily doses estimated by two separate methods from intra-oral Hg emission were determined in 29 volunteers with a low amalgam load. The transfer ofHg from the fillings via the oral cavity and blood to urinary excretion was evaluated by multiple correla tions between these variables. In addition, the combina tion of variables most representative of the entire compartmental transfer of amalgam Hg was determined. Urinary excretion (1), Hg concentration in plasma (2) and absorbed dose (3) were most closely correlated to each other, followed by correlations with the variables of the fillings (4). Correlation coefficients were 0.75 for variables 1 vs 2 and 2 vs 3, and 0.49 for variables 3 vs 4. It was concluded that variables 1-3 best reflected the transfer of mercury from amalgam fillings throughout the organism and that they were relatively insensitive to dietary mercury. The determination of total mercury in plasma and of its urinary excretion rate appears, under practical aspects, most suitable for the investigation of Hg uptake from amalgam.
