・先日心筋症をおこす物質と言うことで，UpToDateの表を載せましたが，アンチモンという物質がありました．どういうものかは，Wikipediaをご覧下さい．（ただ，Wikipediaでは，健康影響の記載が少ないですね．）ここでは，，Haz-Mapの記載を貼り付けておきます．また，アンチモン製品については，日本精鉱株式会社のWebsiteにいろいろ載っております．

曝露源／用途
Antimony exposure can occur in smelting and refining operations and in alloy production. Antimony is used in glass, paints, ceramics, pigments, lead solders, and lead storage batteries. It is also used as a catalyst in the rubber and electronics industries. [Harber, p. 470] Antimony trioxide is used as a pigment for paints and a fireproofing agent for fabrics, plastics, and paper; [CAMEO]

Pneumoconiosis and pustular dermatitis have been associated with chronic exposure to antimony dust. [LaDou, p. 431-2] Miners and millers of antimony ores may develop silicosis and mixed-dust pneumoconiosis. Workers in smelters exposed to antimony oxide may develop a simple pnemoconiosis. [Rosenstock, p. 409] A study published in 1954 of abrasive workers exposed to Sb2S3 at levels usually exceeding 3 mg/m3 found that 6 of 125 workers died of sudden cardiac deaths, and EKG changes, mostly of T waves, were found in 37 of 75 workers examined. [ACGIH] Antimony trioxide caused allergic contact dermatitis in two ceramics workers. [Kanerva, p. 1129] Antimony is a "hepatotoxic agent." [Zimmerman, p. 4] See "Antimony trioxide production."
アンチモンは，塵肺，接触性皮膚炎，心筋障害，肝障害等を起こすと言うことですね．
・アンチモンって，あまりなじみのない物質ですが，結構いろんなところで使われているのですね．
