Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Antimony is a chemical element of growing scientific interest due to its widespread environmental distribution, its industrial applications, and the risks associated with exposure to it. In recent decades, increased mining, metallurgical, and manufacturing activities have led to its release into the environment, raising concerns about its effects on ecosystems and human health.This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of antimony, covering its chemical properties, natural and anthropogenic sources, behavior in water, soil, sediments, and the atmosphere, transport and transformation mechanisms, toxicity, environmental impact, and regulatory aspects. It also analyzes the analytical methodologies used to determine antimony levels, including advanced instrumental techniques and environmental monitoring strategies.Intended for researchers, faculty, students, and professionals in the environmental, chemical, and biological sciences, this book serves as a reference tool for understanding the issues surrounding antimony from a scientific, interdisciplinary, and contemporary perspective.
