RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 A smart material for the in situ detection of mercury in fish A1 García Calvo, José A1 Vallejos Calzada, Saúl A1 García García, Félix Clemente A1 Rojo Cámara, Mª Josefa A1 García Pérez, José Miguel A1 Torroba Pérez, Tomás K1 Chemistry K1 Química AB We have developed a new fluorogenic polymer capable of detecting the presence of mercury contamination in fish samples. The modified polymer emits blue light when irradiated with UV light proportional to the quantity of mercury, as MeHg+ or Hg2+, present in fish. The quantitative relation between the concentration of mercury in fish and the increase of fluorescence in the polymer in contact with fish samples was confirmed, giving rise to quick and reliable results in the measurements of the presence of mercury in fish using a portable fluorogenic polymeric probe.
