Antimony, as antimony trioxide, is a commerically important metal used as a flame retarding agent. Thallium has industrial application as a catalyst for many organic reactions and in the production of alloys and electronic devices. Accordingly, both metals are potential pollutants through anthropogenic sources. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of these metals on the embryos and larvae of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas).
