Recent studies have suggested that rare earth elements (REEs) are contaminants of
emerging concern. Moreover, the understanding of the occurrence and risks of REEs in river …

Rare earth elements (REE) are powerful tracers for our understanding of sedimentary
provenance and depositional processes. This study investigated geochemical …

Rare earth elements have been increasingly used in modern societies and soils are likely to
be the final destination of several REE-containing (by) products. This study reports REE …

Rare earth elements (REE) are increasingly recognized as emerging micropollutants in the
environment, and concerns surrounding their presence are steadily growing. However, the …

Seventy-one samples of paddy soils and some potential sources (parent materials,
fertilizers, coal combustion, vehicle exhaust and atmospheric dust) were collected from …

This paper gives an overview of the REEs distribution in topsoil from Ditrău Alkaline Massif
area under influence of basic natural factors (parent material and soil acidity). Seventy-six …

Increasing use of rare earth elements (REE) in many new technologies results in their
increasing presence in the environment and consequently in natural water systems. The …

Coal and grain complex areas influence the geochemical characterization of REEs through
coal mining activities and agricultural production. However, there is a lack of relevant …

Purpose The purposes of this paper are to investigate the geochemical characteristics of
rare earth elements (REEs) in the surface sediments of Jiulong River, southeast China, to …

The present work assesses the temporal distribution pattern and geochemical changes of
rare earth elements and Yttrium, Scandium, Thorium, and Uranium delivery into the Oualidia …
