Answer:
The most at risk element in the world, antimony has a rating of 9 in the relative supply risk index. A major use of antimony is fire-proofing, though it can be used for other applications such as paint chemicals and hardening lead.
The majority of antimony is produced in China, but the government has recently shut many major antimony mines and smelters for various environmental and political reasons. This had led to a worldwide dearth in the element. A low crustal abundance of 0.2 ppm also contributes to antimony having such a high rating on the risk index.
