Antimony speciation in soil samples along two Austrian motorways by HPLC-ID-ICP-MS†
Abstract
Distribution of antimony and its inorganic species in soil samples along two traffic routes (A14, Rankweil and S36, Knittelfeld) in Austria was determined, since vehicle emissions are an important anthropogenic source of Sb in soil. The samples were taken along three parallel lines at about 0.2, 2 and 10 m distances from the edge of the road and in two depths range (0–5 and 5–10 cm from the soil surface). The optimized
