TL;DR: The chromosome mutagenicity induced by arsenic( III) was significantly suppressed by antimony(III) in the micronucleus test with V79 cells, demonstrating the necessity to identify putative environmental co-contaminations of antimony in the regions contaminated with arsenic.
Abstract: Arsenic and antimony are two semimetals sharing some chemical as well as toxicological properties. Both elements are clastogenic but not point mutagenic in their trivalent state of valency. Environmental exposure to arsenic was proven to be associated with increased rates of various types of cancers. Antimony is suspected to be carcinogenic to humans. Arsenic and antimony can be found as environmental co-contaminants resulting in co-exposure to man. However, in most regions where arsenic was found in elevated environmental amounts, it was not investigated whether an additional exposure to antimony was predominating. In this study, the chromosome mutagenicity induced by arsenic(III) was significantly suppressed by antimony(III) in the micronucleus test with V79 cells. The results demonstrate the necessity to identify putative environmental co-contaminations of antimony in the regions contaminated with arsenic and to determine the impact of antimony co-exposure on arsenic genotoxicity and carcinogenicity in man in vivo.

TL;DR: The extraction of antimony species with citric acid should be useful in the determination of inorganic antimony available to plants, as plants commonly excrete carboxylic acids into their rhizospheres to mobilise trace elements for nutritional purposes.
Abstract: This paper describes the measurement of total antimony and antimony species in “real world” mine contaminated sediments using ICPMS and HPLC-ICPMS. Low and high temperature microwave extraction procedures (90 °C and 150 °C, respectively) using a range of nitric–hydrochloric acid combinations were examined as to their efficacy to extract antimony from six mine contaminated soils and a certified reference material. The use of the higher temperature with nitric–hydrochloric acid (1 : 2 (v/v)) was suitable to release antimony from sediments and the certified reference material, NIST 2710 Montana soil. Antimony concentrations obtained using this acid mixture were similar to those obtained using a more aggressive extraction with nitric, hydrochloric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acid mixture. A 25 mM citric acid solution at 90 °C for 15 min extracted 47–78% of antimony from soils. A Hamilton PRP X-100 anion exchange column with 20 mM EDTA mobile phase, pH 4.5, flow rate 1.5 mL min–1 and column temperature of 50 °C was used to separate antimony species. Column recoveries ranged from 78–104%. The predominant form of antimony was Sb5+. Little conversion of Sb5+ occurred (<5%) during extraction, however, significant conversion of Sb3+ occurred (∼36%). The extraction of antimony species with citric acid should be useful in the determination of inorganic antimony available to plants, as plants commonly excrete carboxylic acids, including citric acid, into their rhizospheres to mobilise trace elements for nutritional purposes.
