Book
Metal pollution in the aquatic environment
TL;DR: This significant book provides not only an introduction to the dynamics of aquatic chem istries but also identifies those materials that jeopardize the resources of both the marine and fluvial domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony in the environment: a review focused on natural waters: I. Occurrence
TL;DR: Antimony is ubiquitously present in the environment as a result of natural processes and human activities as discussed by the authors and is considered to be priority pollutants interest by the USEPA and the EU.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chemistry and behaviour of antimony in the soil environment with comparisons to arsenic: A critical review
TL;DR: Characteristics of the Sb soil system are reviewed, with an emphasis on speciation, sorption and phase associations, identifying differences between Sb and As behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony in the environment: a review focused on natural waters: II. Relevant solution chemistry
TL;DR: In this article, the main characteristics of the solution chemistry of antimony in relation to its behaviour and fate in natural waters are discussed based on a careful and systematic examination of a comprehensive collection of solution equilibrium and environmentally oriented studies, some published more than 100 years ago.
Book ChapterDOI
Environmental biochemistry of arsenic.
TL;DR: The mode of toxicity of arsenate is to partially block protein synthesis and interfere with protein phosphorylation but the presence of phosphate prevents this mode of action, and there appears to be a higher affinity for phosphate than arsenate with 4:1.
