Description
Antimony (Sb) is an exogenous solid with an average molecular weight of 121.76 g/mol. Antimony belongs to the homogeneous metalloid compounds, a class of homogeneous metal compounds within the inorganic compounds. Industrially, it is utilized as a surface modifier, corrosion inhibitor, pigment, and degradant/impurity. The compound is released from several recorded sources, including food contact materials, building and construction elements such as ladders, ceilings, roofs, floors, and stairs and ramps, as well as electrical and electronic equipment including antennas, amplifiers, adjustable resistors, discharge lamps, and cores yokes or armatures. It is also released in plastics such as polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polystyrene, though it has not been detected in polyamide. Exposure routes include touch, oral, and inhalation. In biological systems, trivalent antimony inhibits glutathione-S-transferases from human erythrocytes, which reduces their detoxification ability. Recorded protein targets include glutathione S-transferase A1 (GSTA1), glutathione S-transferase A2 (GSTA2), glutathione S-transferase A3 (GSTA3), glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 (GSTM4), and 15 other proteins. Regarding health effects, antimony is used as a treatment for leishmaniasis (PMC11943490 ) and malaria (PMC11943490 ).

Toxicity Profile
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Toxicity / Toxin ClassNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityThe inhalation data suggests that the myocardium is a target of antimony toxicity. It is possible that antimony affects circulating glucose by interfering with enzymes of the glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. The mechanism of action of antimony remains unclear. However, some studies suggest that antimony combines with sulfhydryl groups including those in several enzymes important for tissue respiration. The antidotal action of BAL (2,3-dimercaptopropanol) depends on its ability to prevent or break the union between antimony and vital enzymes. Moreover, the cause of death is believed to be essentially the same as that in acute arsenic poisoning. (5, 4, 1)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity (not listed by IARC). (3)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
SymptomsAbdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea can result from inhalation of antimony. Dyspnea, headache, vomiting,cough, conjunctivitis, and bloody purulent discharge from nose can result from inhalation exposure. Skin or eye contact can cause pain and redness of the exposed surface. (7, 4)
TreatmentFollowing oral exposure to antimony, administer charcoal as a slurry (240 mL water/30 g charcoal). Following inhalation exposure, move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids. In case of eye exposure, irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature water for at least 15 minutes. Following dermal exposure, remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists. (6)
