“…14,15 However, recent laboratory studies show the potential for both toxicity and bioaccumulation of REEs in many species, including microorganisms and phytoplankton, [16][17][18] aquatic plants, 5,19 terrestrial plants, [20][21][22][23][24] terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates, 1, 10, 13, 25 as well as in fish. [26][27][28] Anthropogenic REE enrichment, and subsequent bioaccumulation in biota, may therefore lead to REE concentrations closer to estimated toxicity thresholds, as is the case in the Yellow River region in China. 8 Rising demand for REEs, and decreasing export from China, have recently led to many new REE mining ventures around the world.…”

Few ecotoxicological studies exist for rare earth elements (REEs), particularly fieldbased studies on their bioaccumulation and food web dynamics. REE mining has led to significant environment impacts in several countries (China, Brazil, U.S.), yet little is known about the fate and transport of these contaminants of emerging concern. To understand how REEs behave in pristine northern food webs, we measured REE concentrations and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (∂ 15 N, ∂ 13 C) in biota from marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems of the eastern Canadian Arctic (N=339). Northern ecosystems are potentially vulnerable to REE enrichment from prospective mining projects at high latitudes. Wildlife harvesting and tissue sampling was partly conducted by local hunters through a communitybased monitoring project. Results show that REE generally follow a coherent bioaccumulation pattern for sample tissues, with some anomalies for redox-sensitive elements (Ce, Eu). Highest REE concentrations were found at low trophic levels, especially in vegetation and aquatic invertebrates. Terrestrial herbivores, ringed seal, and fish had low REE levels in muscle tissue (<0.1 nmolg -1 ), yet accumulation was an order of magnitude higher in all liver tissues. Age-and length-dependent REE accumulation also suggest that REE uptake is faster than elimination for some species. Overall, REE bioaccumulation patterns appear to be species-and tissue-species, with limited potential for biomagnification. This study provides novel ecotoxicological data on the behaviour of REE in ecosystems and will be useful for environmental impact assessment of REE enrichment in northern regions.peer-reviewed)

“…With its large‐scale application in agriculture, industry, medicine, and military, the growing release of REEs to environment is becoming a concern due to their hazard to the health of human beings, various abiotic, and biotic system (Kynicky, Smith, & Xu, ). Currently, most of the safety researches on REEs are focused on terrestrial flora and fauna, including content, distribution, accumulation, and mechanism (Mayfield & Fairbrother, ; Shi, Han, Ma, & Fang, ). A few studies have been performed on the REEs in seafood.…”

The binding species of rare earth elements (REEs) in Laminaria ochroleuca and Porphyra haitanensis were analyzed by ICP‐MS. Results showed that REEs were mainly associated with cellulose, followed by polysaccharides. Content of REEs in Laminaria ochroleuca polysaccharide was higher than that in Porphyra haitanensis polysaccharide due to its particular structure. The binding mechanism of REEs to algae was determined by desorption with three different solutions and it showed most REEs were associated with ion exchange and surface complexation. After desorption, almost all of the absorption peaks in two samples had shifted and the intensity of them had increased. Furthermore, new absorption peaks were found in Laminaria ochroleuca material after dealt with EDTA (1,334 cm−1) and HCl (1,735, 1,527cm−1), which shown that the major functional group were carboxyl, amino, sulfate, and hydroxyl in the biosorption process. All the results could be used as references to the safety evaluation of REEs in seafood. Practical applications With the large‐scale application of REEs, the growing release of REEs to environment is becoming a concern due to their hazard to the health of human beings. Considering the strong bioaccumulation of elements by marine organisms, it is crucial to carry out systematic safety evaluation of REEs in seafood. This work was to provide information on the characteristic of interaction between algae and REEs and illuminate the binding properties and mechanisms. This study may provide reference data for assessing potential environmental risks in seafood. Furthermore, these data would provide a basis for recycling REEs in aquatic systems.

“…However, there are still works that described the determination of trace elements in other tissues. The most popular are fish tissues from lakes and seas all over the world [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Nevertheless, a few applications were applied to determine elements in other organism tissues from water [34,35] and land [36].…”

Two years ago a consortium consisting of several Polish universities (including the Silesian University of Technology and Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology) were established. The goal of this consortium was to implement a project called MODAS (production and attestation of new types of reference materials crucial for achieving European accreditation for Polish industrial laboratories). This project has sought the development and validation of new referPol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 24, No. 5 (2015), 1911-1917 AbstractWe developed a voltammetric method using hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) for the determination of copper, zinc, lead, and cadmium, and an atomic absorption spectrometry method with flame and electrothermical atomisation for the determination of cobalt, copper, cadmium, lead, zinc, ferrum, manganese, and nickel. These methods were applied for the determination of elements in bottom sediment and animal tissue samples -candidates for certificate reference materials. The mineralisation procedure using a closed microwave-assisted system, which allowed for total decomposition of samples, was applied. For accurate testing of developed methods for elemental determination, Buffalo River sediment (NIST) and fish muscle (ERM) certified reference materials were used. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) varied depending on technique used. For F-AAS, LOD values were between 2.2-12 mg·kg , for F-AAS, ET-AAS, and HMDE, respectively. Linearity ranges also varied for each technique: 0.005-1.0 mg·kg -1 for HMDE, 0.35-50 mg·kg -1 for ET-AAS, and 6.5-500 mg·kg -1 for F-AAS technique. Homogeneity within and between bottles was calculated for each element. Variances did not differ in a statistically significant way, which is why materials can be considered homogenous.
