Antimony, Urine Test

This urine test is used to monitor exposure to antimony. Inhalation is the predominant route of occupational exposure. Antimony, employed industrially in pigments, abrasives, and for flameproofing fabrics, is primarily used in the form of inorganic salts. Various organic salts of antimony are available as parasiticides. The metallic form of antimony is used in many alloys.

Antimony poisoning through acute or chronic exposure is characterized by abdominal pain, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, dermatitis, and eye irritation.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
