Complex Mechanisms of Antimony Genotoxicity in Budding Yeast Involves Replication and Topoisomerase I-Associated DNA Lesions, Telomere Dysfunction and Inhibition of DNA Repair
TL;DR: In this paper, the genotoxic potential of trivalent antimony in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated using a combination of genetic, biochemical and DNA damage assays.

Developmental neurotoxicity of antimony (Sb) in the early life stages of zebrafish.
TL;DR: In this article, the neurotoxicity of antimony (0, 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg/L) in zebrafish embryos was investigated, and it was shown that antimony caused a decrease in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels, along with decreased expression of neurofunctional markers such as gfap, nestin, mbp, and shha.
Adsorption of Antimony by Birnessite and the Impact of Antimony on the Electrostatic Surface Properties of Variable-Charge Soil Minerals
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of adsorption on surface charging characteristics of gibbsite, goethite, birnessite, and kaolinite was examined. And the results indicated that Sb(V) participates in inner-sphere adaption by Goethite and Kaolinite in acidic conditions.

Antimony in Mine Wastes: Geochemistry, Mineralogy, and Microbiology
TL;DR: A review of the aqueous geochemistry, isotope chemistry, mineralogy, and microbiology of Sb in the context of mine waste is presented in this paper , where the primary minerals stibnite and sulfosalts may release Sb into surface and groundwaters and result in contamination of soils, plants, and river sediments.

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.

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.
