IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Antimony trisulfide is a solid, grey or red-orange. It is used in pyrotechnics, as well as in the manufacture of ruby glass, matches, explosives, and as a pigment in paints. HUMAN STUDIES: Workmen in a plant where antimony trisulfide was used were studied, focusing on cardiovascular status. Prior to the study there had been six sudden deaths in a group of 125 workers exposed to antimony for 8 months to 2 years. The deaths were suspected to be due to heart disease. In the workers studied, 14 of 113 had blood pressures that were >140/90 mm Hg, and 37 of 75 showed significant changes in their EKGs, mostly the T-wave. Ulcers were detected in 7 of 111 exposed persons (63 per 1,000) as compared with 15 per 1,000 in the total plant population. Although use of antimony trisulfide was discontinued, EKG changes persisted in 12 of 665 workers. ANIMAL STUDIES: Degenerative changes in the liver and in the tubular epithelium of the kidney were observed in rabbits exposed to 27.8 mg/cu m antimony trisulfide for five days. Rats exposed to 3.1 mg/cu m antimony trisulfide by inhalation for six weeks developed electrocardiographic changes, notably with flattened T-waves. On autopsy, the heart was found to be dilated, with signs of degenerative changes; focal hemorrhage and congestion in the lungs were considered to be secondary to heart failure. Cardiotoxic changes were observed in two dogs exposed to 5.6 mg/cu m for ten weeks. Continuous oral administration of antimony for 8 and 12 weeks had toxic effect on the structure and function of the kidney in growing rat.
The inhalation data suggest 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 depends on its ability to prevent or break the union between antimony and vital enzymes. Moreover, the The cause of death is believed to be essentially the same as that in acute arsenic poisoning. (T18, L741, A238)
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of antimony trisulfide in humans. There is limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of antimony trisulfide in experimental animals. Overall evaluations: Antimony trisulfide is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).
3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (L135)
Dermal exposure to antimony can cause antimony spots (papules and pustules around sweat and sebaceous glands). Antimony poisoning can also lead to pneumoconiosis. Alterations in pulmonary function and other effects including chronic bronchitis, chronic emphysema, inactive tuberculosis, pleural adhesions, and irritation can result from inhalation of antimony. Increased blood pressure can also result from antimony poisoning. Myocardial depression, vasodilation and fluid loss may cause shock with hypotension, electrolyte disturbances and acute renal failure. Cerebral oedema, coma, convulsions, and death are possible. (L741)
Inhalation (L741) ; oral (L741) ; dermal (L741
Abdominal 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. (T64, L741)
Occupational hepatotoxin - Secondary hepatotoxins: the potential for toxic effect in the occupational setting is based on cases of poisoning by human ingestion or animal experimentation.
IARC Carcinogen - Class 2: International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies chemicals as probable (2a), or possible (2b) human carcinogens.

Following 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. (T36)

/EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES/ Workmen in a plant where antimony trisulfide was used in the manufacture of grinding wheels were studied. This study focused on cardiovascular status, since prior to the study there had been six sudden deaths in a group of 125 workers exposed to antimony for 8 months to 2 years. The deaths were suspected to be due to heart disease. In the workers studied, 14 of 113 had blood pressures that were >140/90 mm Hg, and 37 of 75 showed significant changes in their EKGs, mostly the T-wave. Ulcers were detected in 7 of 111 exposed persons (63 per 1,000) as compared with 15 per 1,000 in the total plant population. No other disorders suspected of being related to antimony exposure were observed. Although use of antimony trisulfide was discontinued, EKG changes persisted in 12 of 665 workers subsequently reexamined.
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Degenerative changes in the liver and in the tubular epithelium of the kidney were observed in rabbits exposed to 27.8 mg/cu m antimony trisulfide for five days.
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Subchronic or Prechronic Exposure/ Rats exposed to 3.1 mg/cu m antimony trisulfide by inhalation for six weeks developed electrocardiographic changes, notably with flattened T-waves; on autopsy, the heart was found to be dilated, with signs of degenerative changes; focal hemorrhage and congestion in the lungs were considered to be secondary to heart failure. Similar pathological effects were seen in rabbits exposed to 5.6 mg/cu m for six weeks.
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Subchronic or Prechronic Exposure/ Cardiotoxic changes were observed in two dogs exposed to 5.6 mg/cu m for ten weeks, but not in two dogs exposed to 5.3 mg/cu m for seven weeks.
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Subchronic or Prechronic Exposure/ Contamination of the environment with antimony compounds may affect human health through the persistent exposure to small doses over a long period. Sixty growing male albino rats, weighing 43-57 grams, were utilized in this study. The animals were divided into 3 groups; each of 20 rats: animals of group I served as control, animals of group II received 6 mg/kg body weight antimony trisulfide daily for 8 weeks with drinking water, and those of group III received the same dose by the same route for 12 weeks. The Malpighian renal corpuscles showed distortion, destruction and congestion of glomerular tuft, vacuoles in the glomeruli, peritubular hemorrhage, obliteration of Bowman's space, and thickening with irregularity of Bowman's membrane. The proximal convoluted tubules demonstrated patchy loss of their brush border, thickening of the basement membrane with loss of its basal infoldings, disarrangement of the mitochondria, pleomorphic vacuoles in the cytoplasm, apical destruction of the cells, apical migration of the nuclei, and absence of microvilli. On the other hand, peri-tubular hemorrhage, apical vacuolation, small atrophic nuclei, swelling of mitochondria, obliteration of the lumina, destruction of cells, and presence of tissue debris in the lumina, were observed in the distal convoluted tubules. The present work demonstrated the hazardous effect of antimony on the renal function as evidenced by the significant increase of the level of blood urea, serum creatinine, and serum sodium and potassium. In conclusion, this study proposed that continuous oral administration of antimony for 8 and 12 weeks has hazardous toxic effect on the structure and function of the kidney in growing albino rat. Based on the results of the present study, it is recommended to avoid the use of any drinking water contaminated with antimony compounds and forbidden its use in infants and children foods.
Antimony is naturally present in the earth's crust and is released to the environment in windblown dust, from volcanic eruptions, sea spray, forest fires, and biogenic sources(1). It is estimated that 41% of the antimony emitted to the environment is from natural sources(1). The median percentage contribution of these sources are estimated to be: wind-borne soil particles, 32.5%; volcanoes, 29.6%; sea salt spray, 23.3%; forest fires, 9.2%; and biogenic sources, 12.1%(1). While not an abundant element, antimony occurs in over 100 minerals, the more commercially important of which are sulfides and, to a lesser extent, oxides of Sb(III)(2,3). Elemental antimony very seldom occurs in nature due to its high attraction for sulfur and metallic elements such as copper, lead and silver(4). Atimony is frequently found in deposits of other metals such as lead, copper, and silver(2-3). Antimony ore is mined in China, Mexico, and Bolivia(5).
The few results from bioconcentration studies as well as the levels of antimony found in aquatic species suggest that antimony does not bioconcentrate in fish(1,2). Bioconcentration factors reported for antimony range from 2-9(1). No detectable amount of bioconcentration of antimony occurred in a 28-day test with bluegills(3). An exception is a BCF of 16,000 reported for invertebrates(2). Results of a study of the distribution of antimony around a smelter suggest that antimony does not biomagnify in the food chain(2).
