The antimony vapors react with the
oxygen and form a fine, white dust that is collected in a special filtration system Antimony trioxide is often
used in plastic formulations in conjunction with a halogen-based chemical to reduce a product’s flammability.
Antimony trioxide, commonly referred to as ATO, is typically a white,
solid powder that can form dust in air.

Consumer
It is very unlikely that consumers would be exposed to ATO in its concentrated
form because it is only sold for industrial use to make polymers and other products
and is not sold directly to consumers.

Paddlesports enthusiasts take many forms:
adrenaline junkies who crave the exhilaration of
kayaking Class 5 rapids; anglers canoeing down a
