Abstract
Environmental context. Antimony (Sb) is a natural trace element with several industrial applications and anthropogenic emissions can increase Sb concentrations in the environment. In order to assess the potential risks of elevated antimony concentrations to aquatic and terrestrial organisms, toxicity thresholds must be known and environmental criteria defined. Setting such criteria for antimony is not straightforward because the Sb speciation in the standard toxicity test is likely to differ from that in the environment. Abstract. Ecologically relevant threshold concentrations for antimony are required in order to assess the potential risks of anthropogenic emissions of Sb to the environment. The present paper reports a summary of the ecotoxicity data available for various Sb substances and discusses the derivation of ecological threshold concentrations for Sb in freshwater and soils. It was concluded that data from tests with SbCl 3 are useful for calculation of Sb toxicity thresholds in water. The results from SbCl 3 in soil toxicity tests have little relevance because of demonstrated confounding factors of pH and salinity. The derivation of Sb threshold concentrations in soil was, therefore, based on toxicity tests in soils amended with the sparingly soluble Sb 2 O 3 with correction for incomplete dissolution during the duration of the toxicity tests. The lowest chronic toxicity thresholds are 1.1 mg Sb L –1 in water and 370 mg Sb kg –1 dry weight for soil. These concentrations are more than 100-fold larger than typical natural background concentrations.
