Episodic discharge of lead, copper and antimony from a Norwegian small arm shooting range
TL;DR: Monitoring of the levels of Pb, Cu and Sb in a small drainage stream from a Norwegian military small arm shooting range in 2001 and 2006 showed that the snow melting period and precipitation events constituted to a large proportion of the total release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) and chemical extraction methods for predicting bioavailability of antimony and arsenic to maize
TL;DR: In this article, a set of methods were tested to assess the bioavailability of Sb and As to field/potted maize, including Diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT), DTPA and modified-BCR sequential extraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photopromoted oxidative dissolution of stibnite
TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative mechanism was proposed through simulated experiments to describe the dissolution reaction under various ambient conditions, specifically darkness/light and aerobic/anaerobic conditions, and the pH-dependent solubility of Sb 2 S 3 (s) and photo-induced oxidative dissolution are two types of reaction mechanisms.

Bioavailability of Arsenic and Antimony in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Review
TL;DR: A review of the literature on As and Sb bioavailability in terrestrial ecosystems and current in vivo and in vitro techniques used for assessing bioavailability and bioaccessibility of metalloids is presented in this paper.

Transportation and evolution of trace element bearing phases in stream sediments in a mining – Influenced basin (Upper Isle River, France)
TL;DR: The authors identified fresh ochreous As-rich deposits on the river banks and in floodplains as additional point sources (As between 0.07 and 6.5wt.).

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.
