Abstract Synopsis

  • This study compared two methods for measuring mercury levels in fish tissues from the Amazon: the direct mercury analyzer (DMA80) and the more precise ICP-MS.
  • The DMA80 was found to detect slightly higher mercury levels and showed a strong correlation with ICP-MS results, but had a small positive bias especially at higher mercury concentrations.
  • Overall, the DMA80 is a fast and cost-effective tool for monitoring mercury contamination in fish, although it may slightly overestimate mercury compared to the gold standard ICP-MS.]
