Abstract: All chapters of the previous edition [see HbA 37, 2103] have been completely rewritten to cover the rapid increase in research in this area. The number of literature citations have been reduced by referring to recent review articles and the book aims at a comprehensive and critical rather than encyclopaedic summary of the data of environmental chemistry. The 1st 4 chapters deal with air, water, rocks and soils; the cycling of C, N, H, O2 and S in the biosphere are covered in 1 chapter and the elemental Other CABI sites 

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the biogeochemistry of Sb in the Sundarbans mangroves by measuring Sb concentration in sediment, plant organs, river water, sea water and pore water, and determining Sb fluxes within the ecosystem reservoirs.

Abstract: Antimony (Sb), a naturally occurring trace element, tends to be enriched in the top-soil and contributes to soil contamination due to continued human activities. However, little is known about plant uptake of Sb, its storage in plant biomass and recycling in large littoral zones of tropical regions, subjected to strong anthropogenic impact. Biogeochemistry of Sb has been studied in the world’s largest Sundarbans mangroves by measuring Sb concentration in sediment, plant organs, river water, sea water and pore water, and by determining Sb fluxes within the ecosystem reservoirs. Mangrove estuarine water and sediment appeared to be non-polluted in Sb as confirmed by their ecotoxicological indexes. Sediment represented major pool of Sb (2170 g ha-1) compared to plant biomass (2.2 g ha-1). Antimony concentration (μg kg-1) in mangrove roots was highest (17±6) followed by leaf and wood (10.5±6, 9±4, respectively, n = 24). Species-specific variability in Sb concentration was observed with Aegiceras corniculatum, showing highest concentration (48.8 μg kg-1) and Avicenna marina lowest (16.6 μg kg-1). Riverine input of Sb (9.3 to 12 Mg yr-1) was 3-order of magnitude higher than the mangrove sediment-derived input (0.02 to 0.05 Mg yr-1), suggesting the latter as negligible contributor of Sb to the Sundarbans coastal water. The mass balance calculations demonstrate that 63 to 88% of the annual riverine discharge of Sb export to the Bay of Bengal. Further biogeochemical studies should address Sb transport and speciation in surface waters and pore waters of this region.

Abstract: Farmed shrimp contributed 27% of total world shrimp production in 1995 with a volume of 712 000 tonnes. Undoubtedly, the shrimp culture industry earns valuable foreign exchange for developing countries and generates jobs across the industry from fry gatherers to growers and processors. However, grave socio-economic consequences – including conversion, expropriation and privatization of mangroves and other lands; salinization of water and soil; decline in food security; marginalization of coastal communities, unemployment and urban migration; and social conflicts – have followed in the wake of, shrimp farm development in the Philippines and other tropical countries. The paper focuses on mangrove ecosystems: the valuation and cost-benefit analysis of their goods and services, and the mangrove-offshore fisheries connection. Research gaps in these areas and the need to internalize the ecological and socio-economic costs (‘externalities’) of shrimp farming are highlighted. Other recommendations include mangrove conservation and rehabilitation, enforcement of existing legislation, and introduction of environment-friendly aquaculture within the broader framework of community-based, integrated coastal area management, e.g. the traditional, extensive polyculture ponds in Indonesia.

TL;DR: The oxidation states and host phases of Sb and As in soil samples of mine tailing (Ichinokawa mine, Ehime, Japan) and in laboratory soil-water systems were determined by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy and suggest that Sb(V) is a very stable form in the environment and that S b is oxidized at more negative Eh than As.

Abstract: The oxidation states and host phases of Sb and As in soil samples of mine tailing (Ichinokawa mine, Ehime, Japan) and in laboratory soil-water systems were determined by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. HPLC-ICP-MS was used for speciation of Sb and As in soil water. In the Ichinokawa soil water system, Sb was present exclusively as the oxidized form, Sb(V), over a wide redox range (from Eh = 360 to -140 mV, pH 8), while As was present as a mixture of As(III) and As(V). This finding was confirmed in the laboratory experiments. These results suggest that Sb(V) is a very stable form in the environment and that Sb is oxidized at more negative Eh than As. Combining the results of Fe and Mn XAFS analyses and a positive correlation among Sb, As, and Fe abundances in the soil, the host phases of Sb and As in soil were Fe(III) hydroxide. XAFS analyses of Sb and As are also consistent with this finding. Under reducing conditions, the concentration of As in the soil water increased whereas that of Sb decreased in both the Ichinokawa and laboratory systems. This suggests that this contrasting behavior is controlled mainly by the different redox properties of Sb and As.
