CBA/J mice injected three days beforehand with 203HgCl2 were given ethanol or water by gavage and placed in a chamber designed to collect exhaled mercury. Ethanol treatment led to an eight-fold increase of counts accumulated on a filter over a four-hour period, compared with water-treated mice. The mercury-collection apparatus tested for extracorporeal contribution of volatilised mercury indicated that the counts originated from the air exhaled by the mice.
