Lanthanides Release and Partitioning in Municipal Wastewater Effluents

This study investigated the fate of rare earth elements (lanthanides) in in wastewater after being treated by various processes conducted at six different wastewater treatment plants throughout Canada. This research also focused specifically on the fate of medical gadolinium (Gd) which is used primarily in medical imaging activities. Samples were collected from each site over a three-day sampling regime in the summer of 2018. Surface water was collected for comparison from the Athabasca River in Alberta, Canada and from the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada.


All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions. Citation: Turcotte, P.; Smyth, S.A.; Gagné, F.; Gagnon, C.
