  • Europium is one of the less abundant rare-earth elements.

  • Europium is never found in nature as the free element, but there are many elements containing Europium.

  • Europium salts could be mildly toxic by ingestion, but its toxicity has not been fully investigated.

  • Europium becomes a superconductor when it is cooled below 1.8 K and compressed to above 80 GPa.

  • Europium used in nuclear reactors control rods.

  • Europium phosphors are used in television tubes to give a bright red colour and as an activator for yttrium-based phosphors.
