Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in rhizosphere bacterial communities during remediation of heavy metal-accumulating plants around the Xikuangshan mine in southern China.
TL;DR: A study in Changlongjie and Lianmeng around XKS revealed that microbial diversity indices in the rhizospheres of Broussonetia papyrifera and Ligustrum lucidum were significantly higher than in bulk soil, indicating that plants affect microbial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentration and speciation of antimony and arsenic in soil profiles around the world’s largest antimony metallurgical area in China
TL;DR: The heavy contamination in the soil profiles is mostly located in the uppermost soil layers enriched in organic matter and exhibited downward migration in the soils profiles, and Sb and As showed significant mobility in the profiles.

Sulfide-modified zerovalent iron for enhanced antimonite sequestration: Characterization, performance, and reaction mechanisms
Shasha Huang,Chunhua Xu,Qianqian Shao,Yahao Wang,Bingliang Zhang,Baoyu Gao,Weizhi Zhou,Paul G. Tratnyek +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, ZVI and S-ZVI were used to sequester antimonite (Sb(III) in open, well-mixed, batch reactors.

Chemical contamination along the Mediterranean French coast using Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile above-ground tissues: a multiple trace element study
Nicolas Luy,Sylvie Gobert,Stéphane Sartoretto,Renzo Biondo,Jean-Marie Bouquegneau,Jonathan Richir +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the levels of Be, Al, V, Mn, Co, Ni, As, Mo, Sb, Sn and Pb in Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile from the Mediterranean French coast were analyzed using DRC ICP-MS.

Mechanisms of Sb(III) Photooxidation by the Excitation of Organic Fe(III) Complexes
Linghao Kong,Mengchang He +1 more
TL;DR: An important pathway of Sb(III) oxidation in surface waters is demonstrated and evidence for the existence of ·OH and hypothetical Fe(IV) was also observed in an irradiated Fe(III)-citrate and Fe( III)-FA system.

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.
