Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony bioavailability: Knowledge and research perspectives for sustainable agricultures
TL;DR: A human risk assessment has finally been reviewed, with particular focus on Sb bioaccessibility, and the role of soil flora and fauna in the transfer, speciation and compartmentation of Sb in vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution, speciation and availability of antimony (Sb) in soils and terrestrial plants from an active Sb mining area.
TL;DR: A very close relationship was found between the citric acid extractable Sb in plants and water or sulfate extractableSb in soil, indicating that citric acids extracted in plants may be a better predictor for bioavailable SB in soil than total acid digestible Sb plant content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony (Sb) and Arsenic (As) in Sb Mining Impacted Paddy Soil from Xikuangshan, China: Differences in Mechanisms Controlling Soil Sequestration and Uptake in Rice
TL;DR: Chemical speciation of Sb in soil and porewater of flooded paddy soil, impacted by active Sb mining, and its effect on uptake and speciation in rice plants is reported for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of antimony(III) and antimony(V) on bentonite: Kinetics, thermodynamics and anion competition
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of reaction time, temperature, initial Sb concentration, and competitive anions at different concentrations on the adsorption of Sb(III) and Sb (V) were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thallium in the environment: A critical review focused on natural waters, soils, sediments and airborne particles☆
Nelson Belzile,Yuwei Chen +1 more
TL;DR: More than 285 papers containing information of thallium in natural waters, soils, sediments and air particulates have been consulted but only a low number of them present information on the speciation of the metal as mentioned in this paper.

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.
