Standard Test Method for Antimony in Water

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Because of the association with lead and arsenic in industry, it is often difficult to assess the toxicity of antimony and its compounds. In humans, complaints referable to the nervous system have been reported. In assessing human cases, however, the possibility of lead or arsenic poisoning must always be borne in mind. Locally, antimony compounds are irritating to the skin and mucous membranes.

5.2 ICP-MS may also be appropriate but at a higher instrument cost. See Test Method D5673.
