Gadolinium in coastal waters -Time trends and possible sources

Mattsson, Sören LU ; Eriksson Stenström, Kristina LU and Pédehontaa-Hiaa, Guillaume LU (2023) p.112-114
Abstract
Samples of Fucus serratus and Fucus
vesiculosus taken in Swedish coastal waters have been
analysed for Gd by ICP-MS. The results for one site with
frequent sampling show significantly increasing levels
during the last 30 years, most likely a result of the
increasing use of Gd-containing contrast agents for MR-
imaging at hospitals and other health care institutions.
Samples taken at the west-, south- and east-coast in 2020
show considerable variation in Gd-concentration from
site to site with highest level in northern Kattegat.
