Abstract The report is an in-depth study that attempts to assemble, organize, and interpret present-day information on selenium and its compounds, and the effects of these substances on man, animals, and plants. Emphasis is given to the effects of selenium on man, conclusions are drawn from the evaluation of current knowledge on the subject, and recommendations are made for further research. Although selenium is highly toxic in many of its chemical forms, a number of factors suggest that it probably is not a significant pollution problem. The bulk of the industrial uses of selenium are such that only small amounts of the element are injected into the ecosphere. Burning of coal and oil are estimated to account for nearly 70% of the selenium emitted into the atmosphere, but dispersion of selenium as a result of fossil fuel combustion does not appear to be an important pollution problem. There is little evidence to indicate any biomagnification of selenium in the food chain.
