TLDR
The health risk assessment indicated that vegetable consumption would not result in exceeding the safe values of estimate daily intake (EDI) REEs for adults and children, but attention should be paid to monitoring human beings health in such rare earth mining areas due to long-term exposure to high dose REEs from food consumptions.About:

Sources, behaviour, and environmental and human health risks of high-technology rare earth elements as emerging contaminants.
Willis Gwenzi,Lynda Mangori,Concilia Danha,Nhamo Chaukura,Nothando Dunjana,Edmond Sanganyado +5 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework and possible mitigation measures to minimize health risks are highlighted and future research is needed to better understand sources, environmental behaviour, ecotoxicology, and human epidemiology.

The Characteristics, Occurrence, and Geochemical Behavior of Rare Earth Elements in the Environment: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the brief characteristics of rare earth elements, their occurrence in abiotic and biotic systems, and their possible detrimental effects on the environmental quality and human health.

A Detailed Assessment of Global Rare Earth Element Resources: Opportunities and Challenges
TL;DR: In this paper, a global dataset of rare earth oxides plus yttrium oxide (TREO + Y) resources is presented, which contains 619.5 Mt of TREO+Y resources.

Environmental fate and ecotoxicity of lanthanides: are they a uniform group beyond chemistry?
TL;DR: This review shows that the variable composition of culture media used in ecotoxicology, and the associated differences in lanthanide's speciation, are the most likely cause for discrepancies in toxicity levels.

Rare Earth Elements in the Soil Environment
Silvio Junio Ramos,Guilherme Soares Dinali,Cynthia de Oliveira,Gabriel Caixeta Martins,Cristiano Gonçalves Moreira,José Oswaldo Siqueira,Luiz Roberto Guimarães Guilherme +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main sources of rare earth elements (REE) to soils, the contents of REE in soils worldwide, and relevant information on the effects of these elements to plants were explored.

Rare earth elements in soil and plant systems - A review
TL;DR: A review of recent and current literature deals with rare earth elements in primary and secondary soil minerals, concentrations in surface soils, factors influencing adsorption, solubility and transport in soils, including weathering and transformations of rare earth minerals, and vertical distribution in soil profiles as mentioned in this paper.

Effect of Soil pH on Adsorption of Lead, Copper, Zinc, and Nickel
TL;DR: In this paper, surface and subsurface horizon samples of two soils were equilibrated with varying amounts of Ca(OH)/sub 2/ prior to metal addition, and the amount of all four metals retained was dependent upon pH of the soil sample.

A review on the potentiality of Rare Earth Elements to trace pedogenetic processes
C. Laveuf,Sophie Cornu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the use of REEs to trace pedogenetic processes, in order to quantify the respective contribution of successive processes on pedogenesis, and conclude that REEs, much more than other trace elements, can interestingly trace the considered processes that are encountered in a large diversity of non-polluted soils arising from diverse parent materials.
