Neodymium

Neodymium belongs to the ‘rare earths’. Its main use is in very strong permanent magnets (so called neodymium boron iron magnets), which are often also used in and around the aquarium. Elevated levels of neodymium point towards a corroding magnet.

Several studies were published on the toxicity of neodymium. In this paper the accumulation of neodymium in marine mussels is described, which leads to significant changes in metabolism and oxidative stress. Fot this reason elevated Nd levels should be avoided in aquaria.

Our limit of detection for neodymium is ~0,015 µg/l which allows save quantification, even at very low levels.
