Speciation of antimony in contaminated soil and groundwater
Country: EU Projects
Start Date:   1/12/1996         Duration: 12 months         Project Type: RTD
Contract Number: 
Organisation Type:  EC Project
Topics: 
Contaminated land-->Contaminants-->Heavy metals
Project objectives: 
The planned project will start with a methodical developement for a Sb-speciation in soils and groundwaters. Principally, combinations of separation techniques 
(HPLC, CE) with element specific detection (ICP-MS) will be employed. In the beginning, method evaluations will be well to the fore. Afterwards, the method 
should be applied to a great number of samples, to find out the distribution pattern of Sb-species, due to anthropological and environmental influences. These 
results provide information about health risks to the population in this contaminated area.
Project Summary: 
The region of Marktredwitz (Bavaria, Germany) is highly contaminated by heavy metals like mercury or antimony (Sb). Bioavailability and toxicity of Sb is 
strongly dependent on the chemical 'species'. Toxicological aspects of different Sb-species are increasingly realized during the last few years. Determination 
methods for Sb species are not available up to now.
