Journal ArticleDOI
Reductive transformation of birnessite and the mobility of co-associated antimony.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the Mn(II)-induced transformation and recrystallization of birnessite can exert an important control on the mobility of co-associated Sb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of antimony and arsenic in karst aquifers and groundwater geochemistry to the influence of mine activities at the world’s largest antimony mine, central China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper applied a recently developed cluster analysis method as well as geochemical indicators to identify pollution types of Sb and As in groundwater related to complex mine activities, and further revealed main effects on karst groundwater geochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of masking agents for antimony speciation analysis using hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry
TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitive atomic spectrometric method for the redox speciation analysis of Sb in water is described based on the selective generation of stibine from Sb(III) in a continuous flow system using non-dispersive atomic fluorescence spectrometry for detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting the adsorption of antimony on manganese dioxide: The overlooked dissolution of manganese
TL;DR: In this article , a correlation analysis demonstrated that the amount of Mn dissolved was dependent on the Sb(III) adsorption capacity of MnO2, regardless of the crystalline phase of Mn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity and bioavailability of antimony to the earthworm (Eisenia fetida) in different agricultural soils.
TL;DR: In this article, the toxicity of Sb spiked agricultural soils (acidic, neutral, alkaline and calcareous alkaline soil) to earthworms was surveyed at individual (mortality, growth inhibition, Sb accumulation), physiological (enzymatic activities), subcellular and tissue levels (histological damage).

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.
