This paper is the first publication that reported the concentrations of a number of rare earth elements in biodetritus. The rare earth elements area

ey component of modern hi-technology products and they are a new component in the modern solid wastes and waste waters. This paper is an innovative and significant contribution to the database for modern environmental monitoring.**Biodetritus that formed over a 7-month period in microcosms with Viviparus viviparus, Unio pictorum , and Ceratophyllum demersum contained a number of elements.This is the first study to determine concentrations of some elements in biodetritus. Neutron activation analysis showed that the elementsâ

concentrations decreasein the following order: Ca > Zn > Ba > Br > Ce > Se > Nd > La > U > Hf > Sb > Th> Sm > S > Cs > Au. The data obtained contribute to understanding of the polyfunctional role of aquatic organisms in aquatic ecosystems.Key words:Zn, viviparus, unio, U, Th, Sm, Se, Sb, rare, pictorum, Nd, La, Hf, elements, ecosystems, earth, detritus, demersum, Cs, ceratophyllum, Ce, Ca, Br, Ba, Au, aquatic, biogeochemistry,Title: The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystemsAuthor(s): Ostroumov S.
