Abstract
In order to test the mercury vapor content of the air in a laboratory, the absorption spectrum of this vapor is compared with a set of calibration spectra. With a simple apparatus (``medium size'' quartz one‐prism spectrograph) vapor pressures far below the toxic limit can be determined.Keywords
