Vanadium, the 21st most abundant element in the earth's crust, is a shiny silvery soft metal mainly known for its corrosion resistance. This book examines the effects, both detrimental and beneficial, of vanadium on humans and wildlife.

Up-to-date coverage of vanadium research--in two accessible, self-contained volumes Vanadium in the Environment brings together the contributions of leading experts on the chemical and toxicological aspects of vanadium exposure and its effects on aquatic and terrestrial environments, human health, and wildlife. This second volume focuses on health effects and toxicology in living organisms, while Part One concentrates on chemistry and biochemistry. Topics in this second volume include:

Health effects of environmental exposure to vanadium
toxicology of vanadium in mammals
Mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and teratogenicity of vanadium
Baseline vanadium levels and exposure tests in humans
Vanadium and metabolic problems
Vanadium and its significance in animal cell metabolism
Hematological effects of vanadium in living organisms
Genetic toxicology of vanadium compounds
Vanadium and the cardiovascular system: regulatory effects and toxicity
Oxidative stress and pro-oxidant biological effects of vanadium
Endocrine control of vanadium accumulation
Vanadium detoxification
Vanadium as a new tool for cancer prevention

JEROME O. NRIAGU is Professor in the Department of Environmental and Industrial Health, School of Public Health, the University of Michigan, and an adjunct professor at the University of Waterloo. For many years he was a research scientist with the National Water Research Institute, Burlington, Ontario. He is the editor of the Wiley Series in Advances in Environmental Science and Technology and has edited, among many other volumes, Nickel and Human Health, Arsenic in the Environment, and Thallium in the Environment. Dr. Nriagu received BSc and DSc degrees from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, an MS from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a PhD in geochemistry from the University of Toronto. He has published extensively in leading geochemical and environmental science journals and has received a number of awards for his work. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
