Uptake, translocation and transformation of antimony in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings.
TL;DR: Investigation of the difference in uptake, translocation and transformation of Sb in rice seedlings of four cultivars exposed to Sb(V) showed that mass concentration of iron plaque formed at the root surfaces of cultivar N was the highest among all tested cultivars at both low and high exposure levels of SB(V).

Temporal and spatial distribution of atmospheric antimony emission inventories from coal combustion in China.
TL;DR: It shows that the total Sb emissions released from coal combustion in China have increased from 133.19 t in 1980 to 546.67 t in 2007, at an annually average growth rate of 5.4%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential Risk of Arsenic and Antimony Accumulation by Medicinal Plants Naturally Growing on Old Mining Sites
TL;DR: Differences in the bioaccumulation of As and Sb as well as in the translocation of these elements from root to shoot within the same species growing on different localities have been found, indicating that efficiency of As or Sb uptake might vary between individual plants of the samespecies on different sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of synthetic sulfate green rust with antimony(V).
TL;DR: The interaction of Sb with sulfate GR (GRSO4) was investigated using multitechnique approaches such as X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), XRD, and BET analyses, and it was found that fraction (i) is dominant for Sb(V) sorption on G RSO4.

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.
