Journal ArticleDOI
Speciation of lead, copper, zinc and antimony in water draining a shooting range--time dependant metal accumulation and biomarker responses in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.).
Lene Sørlie Heier,Ivar B. Lien,Arnljot Strømseng,Marita Ljønes,B.O. Rosseland,Knut Erik Tollefsen,Brit Salbu +6 more
TL;DR: Results show a clear link between the HMM (high molecular mass) positively charged Pb species, followed by accumulation on gills and liver and a suppression in ALA-D, and high flow episodes can remobilise metals from the catchment, inducing stress to aquatic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Influencing Factors and Mechanism of Antimony and Arsenic Removal by Electrocoagulation Using Fe–Al Electrodes
TL;DR: In this article, antimony and arsenic were removed simultaneously by electrocoagulation using Fe-Al electrodes, and the effects of current density, pH, initial concentration, aeration intensity, and anions were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequestration of Antimonite by Zerovalent Iron: Using Weak Magnetic Field Effects to Enhance Performance and Characterize Reaction Mechanisms
TL;DR: The degree of theWMF enhancement for Sb(III) was found to be similar to the WMF effect reported previously for S b, As, As(III), As(V), and Se(VI, and the largest effect observed was the roughly 6-8 fold increase in Sb (III) removal rate due to the application of a weak magnetic field during the experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of iron plaque and cultivars on antimony uptake by and translocation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings exposed to Sb(III) or Sb(V)
TL;DR: In this paper, a hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate whether Fe plaque could reduce the uptake and translocation of different Sb species in different rice cultivars, and a significant correlation was observed between the concentrations of Sb and Fe on the root surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Sb speciation with waterlogging of shooting range soils and impacts on plant uptake
TL;DR: Results indicate that Sb might primarily be taken up by L. perenne and as Sb(V) by H. lanatus under different water regimes, and temporary waterlogging of soil may increase the risk of trace elements entering the food chain.

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.
