Distribution and mobility of arsenic and antimony at mine sites in FYR Macedonia.
TL;DR: In this paper, soil, river sediments and waters from former As-Sb mining sites in FYR Macedonia have been chemically analyzed to assess their impact on the local environment, and it was shown that a large proportion of the As (50-90%) and Sb (20-60%) in these soils is in a weakly-bound form and is thus available for further mobilization.

Arsenic, antimony and chromium speciation using HPLC-ICP-MS in selected river ecosystems of Upper Silesia, Poland – a preliminary study and validation of methodology
TL;DR: In this paper, the method of collecting, preserving, storing and preparing samples from four Silesian rivers was optimized, and the optimized methodology allowed for study of mobility and seasonality changes of As, Sb and Cr species in the river environment.
Dissertation
Acteurs et mécanismes des bio-transformations de l'arsenic, de l'antimoine et du thallium pour la mise en place d'éco-technologies appliquées à la gestion d'anciens sites miniers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an approche pluridisciplinaire, principalement basee sur des outils d'ecologie microbienne et de physico-chimie, a permis de caracteriser la diversite des communautes microbiennes capables de transformer directement ou indirectement As et Sb, a differentes echelles experimentales : reacteur batch, dispositif a flux continu de laboratoire and pilote de terrain.

Interactions of antimony with biomolecules and its effects on human health.
TL;DR: Exposure to high levels of Sb compounds will increase the risk of disease by affecting different cell signaling pathways and the appropriate form and dose of SB contribute to inhibit the development of specific diseases.

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.

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.
