Mercury Levels in Soil – Environmental Reference Materials

LGC Standards (UK) expands its range of certified reference materials (CRMs) for environmental factors with the introduction of three new materials for mercury in soil.

One of the most significant contributors to mercury in the environment is from mining activities, driving specific requirements for environmental testing. To ensure test results are reliable and of the required quality, laboratories need high quality reference materials of appropriate mercury concentrations. This has led to an increase in the demand for CRMs for mercury in soil, where availability to date has been limited. To respond to this worldwide demand, the Central Geological Laboratory of Mongolia (CGL) has now developed three new certified reference materials for mercury based on mineral and natural soil.

Manufactured under the CGL’s ISO 17025 accreditation and strictly following the requirements of ISO 30 - 35 guidelines, these three new CRMs for mercury in soil are now available from LGC Standards in 30g or 50g units.
