• Antimony is released to the environment from natural sources and from industry. • In the air, antimony is attached to very small particles that may stay in the air for many days. • Most antimony ends up in soil, where it attaches strongly to particles that contain iron, manganese, or aluminum. • Antimony is found at low levels in some rivers, lakes, and streams.
