Treatment of air pollution control residues with iron rich waste sulfuric acid: does it work for antimony (Sb)?

J. Hazard. Mater. 248-249 , 159-66, (2013)

Antimony (Sb) in air pollution control (APC) residues from municipal solid waste incineration has gained increased focus due to strict Sb leaching limits set by the EU landfill directive. Here we study the chemical speciation and solubility of Sb at the APC t...

Optimization of chemical and instrumental parameters in hydride generation laser-induced breakdown spectrometry for the determination of arsenic, antimony, lead and germanium in aqueous samples.

Anal. Chim. Acta 770 , 7-17, (2013)

A laser induced breakdown spectrometry hyphenated with on-line continuous flow hydride generation sample introduction system, HG-LIBS, has been used for the determination of arsenic, antimony, lead and germanium in aqueous environments. Optimum chemical and i...

Antimony toxicity.

Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 7(12) , 4267-77, (2010)

Antimony toxicity occurs either due to occupational exposure or during therapy. Occupational exposure may cause respiratory irritation, pneumoconiosis, antimony spots on the skin and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition antimony trioxide is possibly carcino...

Toxicity of 11 Metal Oxide Nanoparticles to Three Mammalian Cell Types In Vitro.

Curr. Top. Med. Chem 15 , 1914-29, (2015)

The knowledge on potential harmful effects of metallic nanomaterials lags behind their increased use in consumer products and therefore, the safety data on various nanomaterials applicable for risk assessment are urgently needed. In this study, 11 metal oxide...

Experimental resistance to drug combinations in Leishmania donovani: metabolic and phenotypic adaptations.

Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 59 , 2242-55, (2015)

Together with vector control, chemotherapy is an essential tool for the control of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), but its efficacy is jeopardized by growing resistance and treatment failure against first-line drugs. To delay the emergence of resistance, the use...

Synthesis and Structure of the Zintl Phase SrSn(3)Sb(4).

Inorg. Chem. 36 , 3750, (1997)

The new Zintl compound strontium tin antimonide, SrSn(3)Sb(4), has been synthesized, and its structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group -Pnma with a = 10.060(2) _, b = 4.361(1) _,...

Trace element status and zinc homeostasis differ in breast and formula-fed piglets.

Exp. Biol. Med. (Maywood.) 240(1) , 58-66, (2015)

Differences in trace element composition and bioavailability between breast milk and infant formulas may affect metal homeostasis in neonates. However, there is a paucity of controlled studies in this area. Here, piglets were fed soy infant formula (soy), cow...

Microbial and chemical safety of non-commercially packaged water stored for emergency use.

J. Water Health 13 , 819-26, (2015)

Water storage is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness. Potable water is needed for ensuring the survival and well-being of disaster victims. Consumers may store water in previously used beverage or other food-grade containers for eme...

Reinforced carbon nanotubes as electrically conducting and flexible films for space applications.

ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 6(22) , 20400-7, (2014)

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown entangled carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets are characterized by high electrical conductivity and durability to bending and folding. However, since freestanding CNT sheets are mechanically weak, they cannot be used as stand-al...

Trypanosoma cruzi evades the protective role of interferon-gamma-signaling in parasite-infected cells.

Chemosphere 113 , 48-55, (2014)

The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is responsible for the zoonotic Chagas disease, a chronic and systemic infection in humans and warm-blooded animals typically leading to progressive dilated cardiomyopathy and gastrointestinal manifestations. In the pr...
