The municipal or industrial closed landfills are the source of numerous volatile compounds containing the methylated mercury. The landfills are actually the bioreactors where several methylated mercury compounds are generated. These compounds are emitted to our atmosphere as the landfilI gas. An analysis shows that dimethyl mercury is the most frequently occurring product emitted in landfills gas. Chemical assignment of the methylated mercury compounds involves very advanced analytical methods. It seems that spectral analysis can give the exact identification of the investigated compounds. The gas samples gotten from landfills we excited in an electric discharge to receive an emission spectrum of the compounds occurring in our sampIes. The registered spectra were analyzed using the spectral catalogues.
