RT null T1 Vanadium in the Environment: A Technical Report - MARC Report Number 2 A1 United Nations Environment Programme, A1 International Council of Scientific Unions, A2 Bengtsson, Sly A2 Tyler, Germund K1 vanadium K1 environmental damage K1 toxic substance K1 soil erosion K1 water pollution YR 1976 FD 1976 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/27970 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/27970 NO The purpose of this paper is to review the published literature on vanadium insofar as it relates to environmental problems. A summary is given of vanadium concentrations in soil, water, air, fossil fuels and biological materials. This is followed by a discussion of biological functions and toxicity of vanadium. Finally, an estimate of the biogeochemical cycle for vanadium is given in Figure 1, and the need for further research studies is emphasized. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 19, 2026
