Leaching Source

The leaching source seems to be partially from this source: http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/press/news/news06/2601antime.html although the URL does not mention the results that are currently in this article.

Microelectronics use

The article indicates that antimony is used in tiny amounts in the semiconductor industry. As a dopant perhaps, but it is roughly 50% by weight of the semiconductor indium antimonide (InSb) used in infrared detectors.

Medicine section doesn't make sense

The article first claims that antimony based medicines are the "drug of choice" for Lesihmanisis infections, then goes on to say all the ways how said medicines are very flawed at treating this disease. This seems to be contradicting itself EdwinAmi (talk) 20:18, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I couldn't access the source, but I have swapped in a more recent reference. No information about your question, however. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 13:47, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
