Journal ArticleDOI
Availability, Toxicology and Medical Significance of Antimony
Argyrios Periferakis,Ana Caruntu,Aristodemos-Theodoros Periferakis,Andreea-Elena Scheau,Ioana Anca Badarau,Constantin Caruntu,Cristian Scheau +6 more
TL;DR: Antimony has been known and used since ancient times, but its applications have increased significantly during the last two centuries as mentioned in this paper , leading to its introduction into the biosphere where it can be hazardous, depending on its bioavailability and absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributions and impact factors of antimony in topsoils and moss in Ny-Ålesund, Arctic
TL;DR: Results show that the weathering of coal bed could not contribute to the increase of Sb concentrations in topsoil and moss in the study area and moss could be a useful tool for monitoring Sb in both highly and lightly polluted areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colorimetrically determining total antimony in contaminated waters and screening for antimony speciation
TL;DR: A colorimetric method based on the development of the yellow potassium iodoantimonite complex, previously developed for biological matrices, was applied to successfully quantify total Sb in contaminated waters that were collected from an Sb mineralised zone in NSW, Australia.

Mutual effects of silver nanoparticles and antimony(III)/(V) co-exposed to Glycine max (L.) Merr. in hydroponic systems: uptake, translocation, physiochemical responses, and potential mechanisms
Weicheng Cao,Ji-Lai Gong,Guangming Zeng,Biao Song,Peng Zhang,Juan Li,Siyuan Fang,Lei Qin,Jun Ye,Zhe Cai +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first evidence of nanoparticle interactions with Sb species during their uptake and accumulation in plants, which could provide the necessary impetus for investigating the bioaccumulation and physiochemical influences mediated by the co-exposure of Sbspecies and engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in plants.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance of chemical elements in the continental crust: a new table
TL;DR: In this article, a table of element abundances in the continental crust, calculated on the basis of a 1:1 mixture of granite and basalt abundances, is presented.
