Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony(III) Binding to Humic Substances: Influence of pH and Type of Humic Acid
Johanna Buschmann,Laura Sigg +1 more
TL;DR: Under environmentally relevant conditions, over 30% of total Sb(III) may be bound to natural organic matter, suggesting that different functional groups are involved and/or different degrees of stabilization by chelation or H-bridges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony in the soil-plant system - a review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the available literature on Sb uptake by plants and toxicity risks arising from soil contamination by Sb and found that Sb is generally taken up by terrestrial plants in proportion to the concentration of soluble Sb in soil over a concentration range covering five or more orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobility of metals and metalloids in a multi-element contaminated soil 20 years after cessation of the pollution source activity.
TL;DR: Soil pore water under field conditions was analysed to provide new insights into the mobility of residual contaminants in the surface 50 cm of a highly contaminated woodland soil, with Cadmium and Zn showing considerable downward mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic and antimony contamination of waters, stream sediments and soils in the vicinity of abandoned antimony mines in the Western Carpathians, Slovakia
Edgar Hiller,Bronislava Lalinská,Martin Chovan,Ľubomír Jurkovič,Tomáš Klimko,Michal Jankulár,Róbert Hovorič,Peter Šottník,Renáta Fľaková,Zlatica Ženišová,Ivana Ondrejková +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the environmental effects of the abandoned Sb mines on water, stream sediment and soil since the mines are situated in the close vicinity of residential areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of potentially toxic elements in road deposited sediments in residential and light industrial neighborhoods of Singapore.
TL;DR: Road deposited sediments (RDS) are a valuable environmental medium for characterizing contaminant levels in urban areas; and their associated potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can directly impact both human and aquatic health.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
