Interest in vanadium has increased in recent decades because of its presence in suspended particles resulting from fuel combustion, and because of an increased exposure in population such as soldiers, civilian populations near oil wells and in Iraq, and in the Gulf War. One of its sources is the residual oil fuel ashes and vocanic activity. This important book deals with the biological effects on the organism.
