4、ry.1.3 The presence of suspended droplets of metallic mercury(often called“colloidal”mercury,since the droplet size can bevery small)can make obtaining a representative sample verydifficult for a variety of reasons(for example,non-isokineticsampling of the liquid can result in over-or under-collecti
