Antimony pneumoconiosis appears to be a benign process similar to that seen in siderosis, stannosis and baritosis. Many of us who make such a statement are aware of a large gap in our information about antimony pneumoconiosis. The data concerning its lung pathology and chemistry in the human are lacking.

The direct measurement of the presence of antimony in vivo has been accomplished. 18 Further work in that area will provide better methods to increase our abilities to record the identity and volume of certain metals in the organs of the living body. This will provide another parameter for safety measures in industry.
