Optimisation of laboratory antimony measurement techniques for environmental samples
TL;DR: Antimony (Sb) is a redox-sensitive toxic trace metalloid that occurs just below arsenic (As) in Group 15 of the periodic table and shares many geochemical and toxicological similarit...
Further characterisation and applications of the diffusive gradients in thin films technique : In situ measurements of anions and cations in environmental waters
TL;DR: In this paper, robust methods for element speciation analysis are presented, as both the toxicity and the mobility of trace elements are related to chemical forms present, and robust methods are of great interest.

Infrared thermographic investigation of the oxidation behaviour of sulfide minerals from antimony-bearing rocks exemplified by the Podkozara deposit, Bosnia-Herzegovina
TL;DR: In this paper , a newly designed infrared (IR) thermographic test protocol was used to visualise oxidising sulfide minerals and to classify the rock types from the Podkozara Sb project, Bosnia-Herzegovina according to their oxidation reactivity.

Soil indicators of antimony pollution from automotive braking
Barbora Doušová,Vaclav Bednar,Frantisek Buzek,Miloslav Lhotka,Bohuslava Cejkova,Eva Bedrnová +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the release of Sb from brake pad abrasion into two texturally different standard soils was studied through a leaching experiment, and the results showed that Sb flow rates exhibited comparable breakthrough profiles for both soils, with the peak of maximum Sb release in the first 3 days and subsequent equilibration of the system over the next 5-15 days.

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.
