Arsenic and antimony display similar geochemical behaviour in the environment and are usually associated in mining areas, where sulphide ores are exploited. The most common As mineral is arsenopyrite (Goldschmidt 1954 ); however, arsenic commonly occurs in pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, and, to a lesser extent, in sphalerite.

Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) are elements with similar chemistry, toxicity and binding properties, but different environmental risks and prevailing anthropogenic sources. A significant source of Sb contamination is associated with braking in extremely loaded traffic areas, where the produced abrasion dust contains up to 5% wt. of Sb 2 S 3 .

But, extractable antimony exceeded targets approximately 70 times, although only five times by a factor of two. Figures 3 and 4 summarize arsenic and antimony concentrations measured for Vendor 1, Grade A. Extractable arsenic exceeded limits approximately 37 times, but in no case by more than a factor of 50 percent.

The application of increasing amounts of arsenic clearly promoted the antimony uptake by the roots of P. vittata. An interaction between antimony and …

Impact of arsenic on uptake and bio-accumulation of antimony by arsenic hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata. Environ. Pollut. (2013) S. Reichman ... Although similar geochemical behaviors of arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) in the environment has been assumed and widely reported, growing evidence suggests the two elements cannot, …

Arsenic, atomic number 33 lies in between phosphorus and antimony in group 15, the so called Nitrogen group of the periodic table. Members of the group including of course nitrogen, along with arsenic, phosphorous, antimony and bismuth are particularly stable in compounds because they tend to form double or triple covalent bonds.

The concentration of antimony and arsenic in the HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 as well as in the aqueous extracts were analysed by using ICP-MS – inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry – ... Uptake of As and ist speciation; impact of P, role of phytochelatins and S. Environ. Pollut., 157 (2009), pp. 3016-3023. View in Scopus Google Scholar. Wang et ...

Foods produced on soils impacted by antimony (Sb) mining activities are a potential health risk due to plant uptake of the contaminant metalloids (Sb) and arsenic (As). Here we report for the first time the chemical speciation of Sb in soil and porewater of flooded paddy soil, impacted by active Sb mining, and its effect on uptake and speciation …

Antimony (Sb) is a toxic metalloid, and its pollution has become a global environmental problem as a result of its extensive use and corresponding Sb-mining activities.The toxicity and mobility of Sb strongly depend on its chemical speciation.In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the biogeochemical processes …

A chemico-toxicological similarity between arsenic and antimony exists and their toxicology is often seen. Indeed, both elements possess several common properties, e.g. they are clastogenic but not mutagenic in the trivalent state and they have a carcinogenic potential: trivalent arsenicals are known to be human carcinogens and …

Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury, and their inorganic compounds, are probably the most potentially toxic metals in the environment. They have no known ...

Arsenic groundwater contamination threatens the health of millions of people worldwide, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. In most cases, the release of arsenic from sediment was caused by ...

3.2. The Effect of Humic Acid on the Removal of Aqueous Antimony and Arsenic. Figure 2 a,b showed the impact of HA on K 2 FeO 4 removing As. It could be seen that compared with zero dosage, the addition of K 2 FeO 4 had no significant effect on the removal rate of As, which was less than 4% for both circumstances.

Bloody diarrhea. Eventually it may lead to shock, seizure, coma and death. Luckily this kind of poisoning is rare. It could occur through intentional poisoning, or maybe through occupational exposure, but many more people are affected by arsenic poisoning at much lower levels, and over longer periods of time.
