  1. High-resolution spectroscopy and light source technology laboratory Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy University of Latvia, Riga Presentation for Environment Infoday FP7-ENV-2010 17 September 2009

  2. High-resolution spectroscopy and light source technology laboratory • Laboratory is a part of the Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy, University of Latvia • Research area relevant to FP7-ENV-2010 – mercury concentration measurements using Zeeman atomic absorption spectrometry • Contact information: • Egils Bogans, egils.bogans@gmail.com, +371 67225907 • Skunu Str. 4, Riga, LV-1050, Latvia • http://www.atomic-physics.lv

  3. Our experience and capabilities in mercury detection/measurements • Equipment used – Zeeman atomic absorption spectrometer RA-915+ • Detection floor limit in air – 2 ng/m3 • Measurement frequency – real-time (once per second) • Practical experience • Location-aware (GPS-connected) mobile and stationary mercury concentration monitoring in ambient air • Measurement of mercury concentration in liquid and solid samples (e.g., bog peat) • Mercury detection in buildings and on environmental objects

  4. Our ideas and proposed cooperation opportunities • Establishment of systematic mercury concentration monitoring network in Baltic states • Geographical distribution, seasonal and long-term development trends of Hg concentration • Hg concentration investigations in areas of special interest (e.g., forestry impact on mercury presence in soil and water) • Possible responsibilities • Data collection and processing • Management and coordination of regional activities • Intent – to be a member of larger consortium • Target activity – ENV.2010.4.1.3-2, Global Observation Systems for Mercury • We are open to cooperation in other activities as well
