Biological Isotopy of Lithium in Littoral Zones
Lithium (Li) is key in the energy transition and massively used to produce mobile devices and electrical vehicles. Yet its current consumption rate exceeds its river flux to the ocean, and it is poorly recycled, while Li excess is toxic for aquatic life and humans. Although concentrations of Li and its isotopes have been measured in coastal waters, at river outlets, to study continental chemical weathering and climate controls, Li monitoring has been occasional. Moreover, bias caused by anthropogenic inputs is not quantified. Combining a novel isotopic methodology with ecotoxicology and biology approaches, SeaLi2Bio will first determine and understand the littoral Li contamination sources,…
