A new purification method based on a thiol silica column for high precision antimony isotope measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a new purification procedure for high precision Sb isotopic analysis was developed by using a thiol silica gel column and is applied to determine Sb-I isotope composition in natural water samples affected by mining activities.

Antimony Causes Mortality and Induces Mutagenesis in the Soil Functional Bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp7
TL;DR: Examination of effects of antimony exposure on the multifunctional, plant growth promoting, ubiquitous soil bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 found it was highly sensitive to Sb exposure and the observed effects suggest possible consequences for microbial function, plant-bacterial symbioses and ecosystem health with Sb contamination.

Sedimentary mercury and antimony revealed orbital-scale dynamics of the Kuroshio Current
Jianjun Zou,Yuan-Pin Chang,Aimei Zhu,Min-Te Chen,Selvaraj Kandasamy,Hu Yang,Jinjin Cui,Pai-Sen Yu,Xuefa Shi +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used sedimentary Hg and antimony (Sb) from the middle Okinawa Trough (OT) to reconstruct the evolution of the Kuroshio Current hydrodynamics over the last 92,000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous electrochemical determination of Sb(III) and Sb(V) in Water samples: Deposition potential differences and Sb(III) photooxidation characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SW-ASV) to determine Sb species in a single electrolyte solution by SW-ASVM without adding any external oxidant or using complex calculations.

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.

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.
