Positive matrix factorization (PMF) source analysis showed that the main source of Sb pollution in the rivers is the impact of mining and smelting (83.60%), followed by the role of waste rock leaching (16.40%). After irrigation, 27.78% of the river water had strong ecological risks, and 16.67% had extremely strong ecological risks.
INTRODUCTION. Antimony (Sb) (atomic number 51; atomic mass 121.75 g/mol; density 6.684 g/cm 3; melting point 631°C) occurs naturally as a sulphide ore, stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) and …
1. Introduction. Antimony (Sb) is the 51st element in the periodic table. Similar to other pnictogen atoms, Sb forms a volatile, highly toxic trihydride Sb 3+ species, which is unstable under anaerobic conditions. The valence states of Sb in biological and environmental samples, however, are nearly entirely +III and +V. 1 Antimony can be bioaccumulated and harmful to …

between exposure and the health effect (most target organ effects) and (2) hazards with non-threshold effects considered to pose some level of risk at any level of exposure (cancer and mutagenic effects). The characteristics of specific metals or groups of metals should be considered in hazard identification or identification of critical effects.
1. Antimony – general aspects. Antimony comes under group 15 of the periodic table with ground state electronic configuration [Kr]4d 10 5s 2 5p 3. 121 Sb (57.21% …
The antimony mine area in Lengshuijiang City, Hunan Province, is a nonferrous metal mining area. Its geographical coordinates range from (N27°45′, E111°29′).The total area of the mining area is 63 km 2, located in the central region of Hunan Province.It has a subtropical monsoon climate characterized by mild temperatures and abundant rainfall.

Antimony (Sb), a toxic metalloid element, is located in the Group VA of the fifth period of the periodic table of elements. At present, with the wide use of antimony containing products in the world and the corresponding mining activities, a large number of antimony containing waste generated in these processes has also been released to the environment, …
Mining activities, including prospecting, exploration, construction, operation, maintenance, expansion, abandonment, decommissioning and repurposing of a mine can impact social and environmental systems in a range of positive and negative, and direct and indirect ways. Mining can yield a range of benefits to societies, but it may also cause conflict, not least …

Impacts of environmental parameters on the overall microbial community. It has been reported that bacteria respond differently towards Sb and As contamination in our previous study (Sun et al., 2017). Additionally, microbes inhabiting mining areas adopt certain survival strategies to utilize these chemical elements (Sun et al., 2018).

Elevated soil concentrations of antimony (Sb) and co-contaminants are frequently encountered where antimony has been mined on a large scale. For instance, the Xikuangshan antimony mine in central South China has sustained, over many centuries, dispersed and spatially variable input of toxic elements into the soil ecosystem. We utilized this unique …
