Applications of the Lanthanide Series in Human Life

Lanthanides are not as rare as implied by their names, and these elements can be found in many of the devices and materials human beings deal with every day. This chapter focuses on the widespread applications of lanthanides in human life. For better consideration, the uses have been categorized as industrial, agricultural, biological, clinical, and pharmaceutical applications. By growth and development of sciences and technologies, the demands for lanthanides in these sectors are increasing.
