Two concentration methods - HCI extraction and extraction followed by water vapour destillation - prior to anion exchange separation and cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry were used for the quantification of methyl mercury in a number of reference materials of biological and environmental origin with reference or certified total mercury content. The applied methods were validated by the analysis of three marine reference materials, certified for methyl mercury. The results obtained in the materials with methyl mercury contents ranging from less than 1 mig/kg to a few hundred mig/kg showed agreement between both methods for biological materials, whereas extraction/anion exchange resulted in somewhat too high values for a number of the environmental materials. These findings, however, require further confirmation by additional methods and by other laboratories
