Few ecotoxicological studies exist for rare earth elements (REEs), particularly field-based
studies on their bioaccumulation and food web dynamics. REE mining has led to significant …

Increasing rare earth element (REE) mining and refining activities have led to a
considerable release of these substances into aquatic environment, yet the knowledge of …

Recent increases in the demand for rare earth elements (REE) have contributed to various
countries' interest in exploration of their REE deposits, including within Canada. Current …

The geochemistry of rare earth elements (REEs) has been studied for a long time and has
allowed us to highlight enrichments or depletions of REEs in aquatic ecosystems and to …

Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) are critical elements for a wide range of applications
and consumer products. Their growing extraction and use can potentially lead to REY and …

Rare earth elements (REEs or lanthanides) were measured in ten freshwater fish species
from a reservoir in Washington State (United States). The REE distribution patterns were …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are widely used in industry, agriculture, medicine and daily life
in recent years. However, environmental and health risks of REEs are still poorly …
