An apparatus is described for exposing small animals to high specific activity elemental mercury vapor. The vapor is generated by reduction of mercury chloride labelled with the 203HG isotope. The vapor is carried by a constant, stream of air into the exposure chamber. The method has been used to expose rats or mice to constant air concentrations of mercury vapor in the range from 0.008 to 0.32 mg/m3. The specific activity of the mercuric chloride used in the study was approximately 1.8 mCi/mgHg. This is sufficiently high to allow measurement of tissue deposition of mercury after an exposure period of only 30 minutes. |
