1st Edition
It starts with a review on the physical and chemical properties of RE elements, followed by a discussion on various strategies in fabricating nanosized RE materials. It describes various techniques in derivatizing surface molecules onto nanosized RE materials. A considerable portion of the book is devoted to the review and discussion of the application of nanosized RE materials as contrast agents in in vitro and in vivo fluorescence imaging, MRI, and integrated modalities imaging.

Review quote "Rare earth elements are ubiquitous in modern technologies, from catalysis to lighting and in imaging in biology and medicine. Then, the researchers tested whether their labeled nanoparticles were detectable in the environment. To simulate the type of contamination that might result from basic handling, they poured the nanoparticles between two beakers, a common laboratory procedure that has the potential to release particles into the air and deposit them onto the surrounding work surface.
They analyzed their work surface by systematically wiping the testing area and dissolving the wipe along with any particulate matter that it had picked up.
Using Nanomaterials to Recycle Rare Earth Elements From Wastewater
Using optical spectrometry, they were able to quantify the amount of nanoparticle. The simple transfer procedure had spread nanoparticles across their work surface—a hint that failing to clean up the workspace between experiments could confound future results through cross-contamination! Although this study found that even simple laboratory techniques can introduce nanoparticle contamination into the environment, it did not assess the potential health effects of these particles.

Rather, the labeling technique described here provides an easy and sensitive method to trace engineered nanomaterials in the environment that will facilitate future studies attempting to answer this question.
