Rare earth elements (REE) are a homogenous group of 17 chemical elements in the periodic table that are key to many modern industries including chemicals, consumer electronics, clean energy, transportation, health care, aviation, and defense. Moreover, in recent years, they have been used in agriculture. One of the consequences of their worldwide use is the possible increase of their levels in various environmental compartments. This review addresses major topics concerning the study of REE in the soil environment, with special attention to the latest research findings. The main sources of REE to soils, the contents of REE in soils worldwide, and relevant information on the effects of REE to plants were explored. Ecological and human health risk issues related to the presence of REE in soils were also discussed. Although several findings reported positive effects of REE on plant growth, many questions about their biological role remain unanswered. Therefore, studies concerning the actual mechanism of action of these elements on cellular and physiological processes should be further refined. Even more urgent is to unveil their chemical behavior in soils and the ecological and human health risks that might be associated with the widespread use of REE in our modern society.

“…The previously prepared solutions of enriched 151 Eu and 145 Nd in our laboratory were recalibrated. 29 These spike solutions were used for IDMS measurements in real samples. An individual stock solution of Mn/Co containing carrier-free 54 Mn/ 60 Co tracer was used for the recovery studies employing gamma spectrometry.…”

“…meant for direct solid analysis cannot be used for these types of samples due to the unavailability of the matrix matched certied reference material (CRM). A feasible option is to bring the matrix into solution and then analyze it by employing instrumental techniques meant for solution analysis like ICP-MS, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] ICP-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) 22,36,37 or ion chromatography (IC), [38][39][40][41] etc. Because of high sample throughput, high sensitivity, low detection limit and less spectral interference ICP-MS is preferred over the other techniques.…”

“…Because of high sample throughput, high sensitivity, low detection limit and less spectral interference ICP-MS is preferred over the other techniques. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] We have developed an analytical methodology for the quantication of twelve trace impurities viz., B, Ce, Cd, Co, Eu, Dy, Gd, Mn, Nd, Ni, Sm and Tb in U-Ti, U-Zr and U-Mo alloys by ICP-MS. Since high matrix concentration in solution can affect the analyte intensities thereby making their precise quantication difficult, it is necessary to eliminate the effects of the matrix.…”
