| Abstract |
The report is a review and evaluation of the current knowledge of vanadium in the environment as related to possible deleterious effects on human health and welfare. Sources, distribution, measurement, and control technology are also considered. Vanadium is widely distributed in nature and is usually present in small quantities in all media and living forms. The largest source of environmental contamination by vanadium is from oil combustion. Vanadium particulate matter is small, well within the respirable range for human beings. Respiratory absorption of vanadium appears to be very efficient, and it is thought that prolonged, repeated exposure could produce chronic lung disease. High-level industrial exposures of humans have shown evidence of complex internal injuries in the body, particularly enzyme interference. The small particle size of vanadium emissions makes complete control unlikely, but good particulate control measures can greatly reduce vanadium output from most sources. |
