Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution, chemical speciation and source of trace elements in surface sediments of the Changjiang Estuary
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated biogeochemical characteristics, eco-environmental risks and sources of trace elements (TEs: As, Hg, Se, Sb, Te, Sn, Bi and Ge).
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Sb(III), Sb(V) and identification of Sb-containing nanoparticles in airborne particulate matter
TL;DR: In this article, a reliable method able to separate and quantify Sb(III and SbV) species by ion chromatography - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-MS) was applied to PM samples from brakes, major source of antimony in coarse particles, and to atmospheric PM10 and size segregated samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Antimony by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
TL;DR: The proposed SERS-based detection of Sb is a fast and highly sensitive method for use in environmental and industrial waste monitoring as well as for forensic science to determine gunshot residue and it is expected that the approach reported herein can be further extended to develop new detection techniques for other heavy metals.

Mobilization of co-occurring trace elements (CTEs) in arsenic contaminated aquifers in the Bengal basin
Michael Vega,Michael Vega,Harshad Vijay Kulkarni,Harshad Vijay Kulkarni,Karen H. Johannesson,Karen H. Johannesson,Robert J. Taylor,Saugata Datta,Saugata Datta +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the co-mobilization of potentially toxic trace elements (CTEs) in aquifers with known metal-loid contamination, and found that CTEs are being mobilized concomitantly with As in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India, probably by microbial Fe reduction.

Chemistry of green encapsulating molding compounds at interfaces with other materials in electronic devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the interface chemistry between encapsulating epoxy phenolic molding compound (EMC) containing phosphorous based organic flame retardant (the so called "green materials") and copper oxide-hydroxide and aluminum oxide-hroxide surfaces have been studied in comparison with conventional EMC containing bromine and antimony as flame retardants.

The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Distribution of the Elements in Some Major Units of the Earth's Crust
Karl K. Turekian,K. H. Wedepohl +1 more
TL;DR: A table of abundances of the elements in the various major units of the Earth's lithic crust with a documentation of the sources and a discussion of the choice of units and data is presented in this article.

Quantitative assessment of worldwide contamination of air, water and soils by trace metals
Jerome O. Nriagu,Jozef M. Pacyna +1 more
TL;DR: Calculated loading rates of trace metals into the three environmental compartments demonstrate that human activities now have major impacts on the global and regional cycles of most of the trace elements.
Book
Handbook on the toxicology of metals
TL;DR: Handbook of the Toxicology of Metals as discussed by the authors is the standard reference work for physicians, toxicologists and engineers in the field of environmental and occupational health, which is a comprehensive review of the effects on biological systems from metallic elements and compounds.
