Background
Vanadium pentoxide is the most common commercial form of vanadium. It is used as a catalyst in the production of sulfuric acid and some nanomaterials. When fuel oils containing vanadium are combusted, they leave behind byproducts containing vanadium pentoxide in the forms of dust, soot, boiler scale, and fly ash. Vanadium is found at multiple Superfund sites.
History/Chronology
| Jan 1987 | The RfD for vanadium pentoxide was posted to the IRIS Database. |
| Sep 2011 | EPA hosted an interagency science consultation on the review of the draft Toxicological Review of Vanadium Pentoxide. |
| Sep 2011 | EPA released the external review draft of the vanadium pentoxide assessment for public review and comment. [Federal Register Notice Sep 30, 2011] |
Next Steps
Following external peer review and public comment, the assessment will be revised taking into consideration the comments received. It will then undergo a final internal review by EPA and other federal agencies and White House offices. After completing the review it will be posted to the IRIS database.
