Distribution and bioaccumulation of arsenic and antimony in Dittrichia viscosa growing in mining-affected semiarid soils in southeast Spain
Carmen Pérez-Sirvent,María José Martínez-Sánchez,Salvadora Martínez-López,Jaume Bech,Nanthi Bolan +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the bioaccumulation of As and Sb in Dittrichia viscosa (L) Greuter from soils polluted by mining activities located in Sierra Minera, (SE Spain) were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A unified approach to mechanistic aspects of photochemical vapor generation
TL;DR: In this article, a unified approach to the mechanism of photochemical vapor generation (PVG) of metal, semimetal and halogen elements is proposed, drawn from extensive parallel literature devoted to radical-based reactions involving metal ions in aqueous and carboxylate-containing media undertaken with flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis, in addition to classical photolyisation and the impact of semiconductor mediated metal ion reduction (removal) from solution.

Selective removal of antimony(III) from aqueous solution using antimony(III)-imprinted organic–inorganic hybrid sorbents by combination of surface imprinting technique with sol–gel process
TL;DR: A Sb(III)-imprinted iodole-functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid sorbent was synthesized by combination of surface imprinting technique with sol-gel process for the selective removal of Sb (III) from aqueous media as discussed by the authors.

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.
