Evaluating the performance of oxidized Hg reference gas generators in the range ng m−3 to μg m−3 by improved coupling with ICP-MS

We demonstrate a novel way to introduce a so-called Hg reference gas, produced by a gas generator, into an elemental detector, such as ICP-MS, and to directly measure gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM as HgCl2) at a wide range of concentrations, covering 4 orders of magnitude. The approach was tested us...
