  • Title: The chemistry and behaviour of antimony in the soil environment with comparisons to arsenic: a critical review.
    Author: Wilson SC, Lockwood PV, Ashley PM, Tighe M.
    Journal: Environ Pollut; 2010 May; 158(5):1169-81. PubMed ID: 19914753.
    Abstract:
    This article provides a critical review of the environmental chemistry of inorganic antimony (Sb) in soils, comparing and contrasting findings with those of arsenic (As). Characteristics of the Sb soil system are reviewed, with an emphasis on speciation, sorption and phase associations, identifying differences between Sb and As behaviour. Knowledge gaps in environmentally relevant Sb data for soils are identified and discussed in terms of the limitations this imposes on understanding the fate, behaviour and risks associated with Sb in environmental soil systems, with particular reference to mobility and bioavailability.
