| Summary: | This report by the Danish Centre for Environment and Energy (DCE) and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR) aims to gather worldwide information on excitotoxicity data on fluoride (F), rare earth elements (REEs), and naturally occurring radionuclides (NORs) that can potentially be used in Greenland. The report is not explicitly focused on Kvanefjeld and Tanbreeze mineral exploration projects in south Greenland but on the mining and milling of minerals containing REEs, NORs, and F in general in Greenland. The report provides relevant information to be used as a basis for environmental regulation and monitoring of mining projects and establish guidelines on concentrations threshold values for the REEs, NORs, and F in water, soil, dust, vegetation, berries, birds, and fish both in the mining area but also for the surrounding environment. This report can also be used for teaching or as guide for the general public, politicians, authorities, education, industry, and other Greenland stakeholders. |
