The increasing generation of toxic heavy metals from smelting activities poses significant
threat to food safety, human health, and soil ecosystem, due to their unacceptable exposure …

Smelting activities pose serious environmental problems due to the local and regional heavy
metal pollution in soils they cause. It is therefore important to understand the pollution …

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 …

Elevated concentrations of antimony (Sb) in environmental, biological and geochemical
systems originating from natural, geological and anthropogenic sources are of particular …

The integrated analysis of the distribution characteristics, health risks, and source
identification of heavy metals is crucial for formulating prevention and control strategies for …

Technologies for remediation of industrial effluents and natural sources contaminated with
antimony-a pollutant of emerging concern-are just emerging. The complex speciation of …

Antimony (Sb) is a serious toxic and non-essential metalloid for animals, humans, and
plants. The rapid increase in anthropogenic inputs from mining and industrial activities …

This study investigated the horizontal, vertical and fractional distribution of heavy metals in
the soil and the pollution and risk assessment of two smelter sites in Daye (a Cu smelter) …

In this study, we assessed the capacities of biochar derived from tea branches (hereafter
referred to as biochar) and Fe–Mn-modified biochar (MnFe 2 O 4-biochar) to immobilize Sb …

The emission and adsorption of mineral elements to dust from geogenic and anthropogenic
sources are health challenges in residential areas. This study investigated, for the first time …
