Highlights Soils are locally affected by extreme Pb and moderate Sb contamination.Anthropogenic soil contamination is restricted to the surface horizons.Antimony isotopes allowed to discriminate Sb from mining vs metallurgical sources.Pb-Sb isotope coupling is a...
Abstract Antimony isotopes have been recently used as geochemical tracers for archeological or environmental purposes. The purification of antimony in samples with a low Sb concentration and a complex matrix is a critical step to measure the 123Sb/121Sb ratio by...
