Exposure of fauna to rare earth elements
There is increased exploration for and extraction of lanthanides or Rare Earth Elements (REEs) due to their increasing use and importance, especially in new technologies. In Canada, several exploration projects are underway and some projects could seek approval to begin operation in the next few years. In addition, REEs are associated with phosphate fertilizers used in Canada. There is little information on the toxicity of REEs and their presence in the environment and wildlife. We are conducting REE analyses to determine the exposure of wildlife to REEs in different regions.
