    Background:

    • Elemental mercury poses environmental and health risks.
    • Accurate monitoring in aqueous systems is crucial for risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a method for introducing and sampling elemental mercury in closed aqueous growth environments.
    • To prevent atmospheric loss of elemental mercury during sampling.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a closed aqueous system for mercury introduction.
    • Implemented a sampling technique to avoid atmospheric release.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully introduced elemental mercury into the aqueous environment.
    • Achieved sample collection without any mercury loss to the atmosphere.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method allows for safe and accurate handling of elemental mercury in closed aqueous systems.
    • This technique is valuable for environmental monitoring and toxicological studies involving mercury.
