中文摘要：

随着锑的开采及含锑产品的广泛应用，锑所带来的污染问题已越来越严重，锑对环境与健康的危害也受到了更多的关注。该文总结了锑环境健康效应的研究进展，从医学、环境毒理学和生态毒理学的角度分别分析了锑对人、动物以及植物与土壤生物的健康效应。提示今后还需加强锑的致癌性及基因毒性研究，并需从微观与宏观尺度揭示锑的毒性效应，以期为锑的环境健康风险评估提供科学依据。

英文摘要：

The antimony mining and widely use of antimony products have resulted in serious antimony contamination, causing hazards to both the environment and human health. The present paper summarized the research progresses on the environmental health effect of antimony. The health effects of antimony on human, animals, and plants as well as soil organisms are introduced and discussed in the view of medical science, environmental toxicology and ecological toxicology, respectively. It is suggested that more researches should be conducted on antimony carcinogenicity and genotoxicity, and the toxic effects of antimony should be explored from micro and macroscopic scales in order to provide the scientific basis for risk assessment of antimony.
