Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

Abstract- The bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of bulk and nanoparticle (NP) La2O3 from
25
soil through a terrestrial food chain was determined. To investigate the impact of growth
26
conditions, lettuce (Lactuca sativa) was grown in 350 or 1200 g of bulk/NP amended soil. Leaf
27
tissues were fed to crickets (Acheta domesticus) or darkling beetles (Tenebrionoidea); select
28
crickets were fed to mantises. In the small pot (350 g), La2O3 exposure reduced plant biomass by
29
23-30% and La tissue content did not differ with particle size. In the large pot (1200 g), biomass
30
was unaffected by exposure and La content in the tissues were significantly greater with bulk
31
particle treatment. Darkling beetles exposed to bulk and NP La2O3-contaminated lettuce
32
contained La at 0.18 and 0.08 mg/kg; respectively (significantly different, P
