Abstract
Primary production is an important driver of marine carbon storage. Besides the major nutrient elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon, primary production also depends on the availability of nutrient-type metals (e.g., Cu, Fe, Mo) and the absence of toxicologically relevant metals (e.g., Ni, Pb). Especially in coastal oceans, carbon storage and export to the open ocean is highly variable and influenced by anthropogenic eutrophication and pollution. To model future changes in coastal carbon storage processes, a solid baseline of nutrient and metal concentrations is crucial. The North Sea is an important shelf sea, influenced by riverine, atmospheric, Baltic Sea, and North Atlantic inputs. We measured the concentrations of dissolved nutrients (NH4+, NO3-, PO43-, and SiO44-) and 26 metals in 337 water samples from various depths within the entire North Sea and Skagerrak. A principal component analysis enabled us to categorize the analytes into three groups according to their predominant behavior: tracers for seawater (e.g., Mo, U, V), recycling (e.g., NO3-, PO43-, SiO44-), and riverine or anthropogenic input (e.g., Ni, Cu, Gd). The results further indicate an increasing P-limitation and increasing anthropogenic gadolinium input into the German Bight.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) plays a crucial role in normal cells, but excess V causes multi-organ toxicity, including neurotoxicity. Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM) is a dynamic structure between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria that mediates ER quality control (ERQC). To explore the effects of excess V on MAM and ERQC in the brain, 72 ducks were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (basal diet) and the V group (30 mg V/kg basal diet). On days 22 and 44, brain tissues were collected for histomorphological observation and determination of trace element contents. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of MAM and ERQC-related factors in the brain were analyzed. Results show that excessive V causes the imbalance of trace elements, the integrity disruption of MAM, rupture of ER and autophagosomes formation. Moreover, it inhibits IP3R and VDAC1 co-localization, down-regulates the expression levels of MAM-related factors, but up-regulates the expression levels of ERQC and autophagy related factors. Together, results indicate that V exposure causes disruption of MAM and activates ERQC, which is further causing autophagy.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) concentrations in organisms are usually very low. To date, among animals, only some urochordate and annelid species contain very high levels of V in their tissues. A new case of hyper-accumulation of V in a distinct animal phylum (Porifera), namely, the two homoscleromorph sponge species Oscarella lobularis and O. tuberculata is reported. The measured concentrations (up to 30 g/kg dry weight) exceed those reported previously and are not found in all sponge classes. In both Oscarella species, V is mainly accumulated in the surface tissues, and in mesohylar cells, as V(IV), before being partly reduced to V(III) in the deeper tissues. Candidate genes from Bacteria and sponges have been identified as possibly being involved in the metabolism of V. This finding provides clues for the development of bioremediation strategies in marine ecosystems and/or bioinspired processes to recycle this critical metal.

Abstract
The ultraphytoplankton composition and dynamics were assessed during a Saharan dust event occurring off the southern Tunisian coasts during the MERITE-HIPPOCAMPE Trans-Mediterranean oceanographic cruise. The composition of atmospheric dust was characterized in terms of nutriments and trace metals. Data-assimilative hydrodynamic model revealed no differences in the hydrological features along the sampling track and almost no water transport occurred during the period of atmospheric deposition. Dust deposition increased the growth rates and the productivity of the major phytoplanktonic cytometric groups, resulting in the highest surface biomass along the Mediterranean transect. One group, distinguished by low fluorescence and nanoplanktonic size, reacted to dust deposition within hours, exhibiting the highest growth rate and net productivity. The dust composition showed a substantial enrichment with organic phosphorous representing (56 % of Total phosphorus) and trace metals mainly Fe, Mn and V.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) pollution potentially threatens human health. Here, it is found that nsp1 and nsp2, Rhizobium symbiosis defective mutants of Medicago truncatula, are sensitive to V. Concentrations of phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), and sulfur (S) with V are negatively correlated in the shoots of wild-type R108, but not in mutant nsp1 and nsp2 shoots. Mutations in the P transporter PHT1, PHO1, and VPT families, Fe transporter IRT1, and S transporter SULTR1/3/4 family confer varying degrees of V tolerance on plants. Among these gene families, MtPT1, MtZIP6, MtZIP9, and MtSULTR1; 1 in R108 roots are significantly inhibited by V stress, while MtPHO1; 2, MtVPT2, and MtVPT3 are significantly induced. Overexpression of Arabidopsis thaliana VPT1 or M. truncatula MtVPT3 increases plant V tolerance. However, the response of these genes to V is weakened in nsp1 or nsp2 and influenced by soil microorganisms. Mutations in NSPs reduce rhizobacterial diversity under V stress and simplify the V-responsive operational taxonomic unit modules in co-occurrence networks. Furthermore, R108 recruits more beneficial rhizobacteria related to V, P, Fe, and S than does nsp1 or nsp2. Thus, NSPs can modulate the accumulation and tolerance of legumes to V through P, Fe, and S transporters, ion homeostasis, and rhizobacterial community responses.

Abstract
Abundant smelting ash is discharged during pyrometallurgical vanadium (V) production. However, its associated V speciation and resultant ecological impact have remained elusive. In this study, V speciation in smelting ash and its influence on the metabolism of soil microorganisms were investigated. Smelting ashes from V smelters contained abundant V (19.6-115.9 mg/g). V(V) was the dominant species for soluble V, while solid V primarily existed in bioavailable forms. Previously unrevealed V nanoparticles (V-NPs) were prevalently detected, with a peak concentration of 1.3 × 1013 particles/g, a minimal size of 136.0 ± 0.6 nm, and primary constituents comprising FeVO4, VO2, and V2O5. Incubation experiments implied that smelting ash reshaped the soil microbial community. Metagenomic binning, gene transcription, and component quantification revealed that Microbacterium sp. and Tabrizicola sp. secreted extracellular polymeric substances through epsB and yhxB gene regulation for V-NPs aggregation to alleviate toxicity under aerobic operations. The V K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra suggested that VO2 NPs were oxidized to V2O5 NPs. In the anaerobic case, Comamonas sp. and Achromobacter sp. reduced V(V) to V(IV) for detoxification regulated by the napA gene. This study provides a deep understanding of the V speciation in smelting ash and microbial responses, inspiring promising bioremediation strategies to reduce its negative environmental impacts.

Evidence for the accumulation of toxic metal(loid)s in agricultural soils impacted from long-term application of phosphate fertilizer. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 907:167863.

Abstract
Phosphate fertilizers may contain elevated concentrations of toxic metals and metalloids and therefore, their excessive application can result in the accumulation of both phosphorus (P) and metal(loid)s in agricultural soils. This study aims to investigate the occurrence, distribution, and potential plant-availability of metal(loid)s originating from phosphate fertilizer in a long-term experimental field at the Tidewater Research Station in North Carolina, where topsoil (10-20 cm deep) and subsoil (up to 150 cm deep) samples were collected from five plots with consistent and individually different application rates of P-fertilizer since 1966. We conducted systematic analyses of P and metal(loid)s in bulk soils, in the plant available fraction, and in four sequentially extracted soil fractions (exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable, and residual). The results show that P content in topsoils were directly associated with the rate of P-fertilizer application (ρ = 1, p < 0.05). Furthermore, P concentrations were highly correlated with concentrations of Cd, U, Cr, V, and As in the bulk topsoil (ρ > 0.58, p < 0.05), as well as the potential plant-available fraction (ρ > 0.67, p < 0.01), indicating the accumulation of the fertilizer-derived toxic metal(loid)s in the topsoil. Significant correlations (p < 0.001) of metal(loid)s concentrations between the bulk soil and the potential plant-available fraction raises the possibility that P-fertilizer application could increase the accumulation of toxic metal(loid)s in plants, which could increase human exposure. Results from sequential leaching experiments revealed that large portions of the trace elements, in particular Cd, occur in the soluble (exchangeable and reducing) fractions of topsoil with higher P-fertilizer input, whereas the levels of redox-sensitive elements (As, V, U, Cr) were higher in the reducible and oxidizable fractions of the soils. Overall, the data presented in this study demonstrate the effect of long-term P-fertilizer application on the occurrence and accumulation of a wide range of toxic metal(loid)s in agricultural topsoil.

Abstract
Bio-accessibility of vanadium (V) in soils determines the effectiveness of vegetation restoration in the vanadium titano-magnetite tailings reservoirs because of persistent V toxicity, yet the variations in the bio-accessibility and mobilization of V in the soils with vegetation restoration remain elusive. Here, the bio-accessibility and mobilization of V in the soil-water interface were investigated along a 48-year vegetation restoration chronosequence in the Majiatian tailings reservoir using the diffusive gradients in thin films technique (DGT) and DGT-induced flux model. We found a low concentration of DGT-extracted V along the vegetation restoration chronosequence and the V fraction was dominated by the residual form, indicating a low V bio-accessibility in the soils. The bio-accessibility of V increased along the chronosequence because of the increased V resupply from solid phase, especially from the organic V fraction and the clay bound V. Low supply coefficient (R = 0.25) revealed a limited release of V from solid phase to soil solution. The kinetic resupply processes of V and its key regulating parameters were stage-specific during the vegetation restoration. The pool size of labile V in the soils determined the rapid V supply at the early and late stages, while the low desorption rate of V from the solid to liquid phase regulated the slow supply regime at the middle stage. The results of the present study highlight the importance of the long-term monitoring of soil V mobilization in the tailings reservoir because of the increased bio-accessibility and the dynamic supply of V during the vegetation restoration.

Abstract
Chlorate (ClO3-) is a toxic oxyanion pollutant from industrial wastes, agricultural applications, drinking water disinfection, and wastewater treatment. Catalytic reduction of ClO3- using palladium (Pd) nanoparticle catalysts exhibited sluggish kinetics. This work demonstrates an 18-fold activity enhancement by integrating earth-abundant vanadium (V) into the common Pd/C catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical studies indicated that VV and VIV precursors are reduced to VIII in the aqueous phase (rather than immobilized on the carbon support) by Pd-activated H2. The VIII/IV redox cycle is the predominant mechanism for the ClO3- reduction. Further reduction of chlorine intermediates to Cl- could proceed via VIII/IV and VIV/V redox cycles or direct reduction by Pd/C. To capture the potentially toxic V metal from the treated solution, we adjusted the pH from 3 to 8 after the reaction, which completely immobilized VIII onto Pd/C for catalyst recycling. The enhanced performance of reductive catalysis using a Group 5 metal adds to the diversity of transition metals (e.g., Cr, Mo, Re, Fe, and Ru in Groups 6-8) for water pollutant treatment via various unique mechanisms.

Abstract
While microbial reduction has gained widespread recognition for efficiently remediating environments polluted by toxic metavanadate [V(V)], the pool of identified V(V)-reducing strains remains rather limited, with the vast majority belonging to bacteria and fungi. This study is among the first to confirm the V(V) reduction capability of Streptomyces microflavus, a representative member of ubiquitous actinomycetes in environment. A V(V) removal efficiency of 91.0 ± 4.35% was achieved during 12 days of operation, with a maximum specific growth rate of 0.073 d-1. V(V) was bioreduced to insoluble V(IV) precipitates. V(V) reduction took place both intracellularly and extracellularly. Electron transfer was enhanced during V(V) bioreduction with increased electron transporters. The electron-transfer pathways were revealed through transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses. Electrons might flow either through the respiratory chain to reduce intracellular V(V) or to cytochrome c on the outer membrane for extracellular V(V) reduction. Soluble riboflavin and quinone also possibly mediated extracellular V(V) reduction. Glutathione might deliver electrons for intracellular V(V) reduction. Bioaugmentation of the aquifer sediment with S. microflavus accelerated V(V) reduction. The strain could successfully colonize the sediment and foster positive correlations with indigenous microorganisms. This study offers new microbial resources for V(V) bioremediation and improve the understanding of the involved molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Tuna and billfish are widely distributed in oceans worldwide. Their survival is relied on a decent share of essential and non-essential elements. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of essential and non-essential elements in livers of tuna and billfish collected from global oceans. The individual element consistently shown similar orders of magnitude in both tuna and billfish, with essential elements generally being 1-3 orders of magnitude higher than non-essential elements. Various physicochemical properties and behaviors contributed to four distinct clusters of these elements. Also, element distribution pattern indicated the presence of four sample groups based on regions and categories. Nine elements served as characteristic indicators. Among them, fish category was the most important influencing factor. Hg, Fe, Tl, Co, and Se were influenced by body size, trophic level, and feeding habits. Ni was influenced by sampling regions, while Mg, Mn and As were influenced by body size and local primary production.

Abstract
Vanadium is a strategic metal that has many important industrial applications and is generated by the use of burning fossil fuels, which inevitably leads to their release into the environment, mainly in the form of oxides. The wastes generated by their use represent a major health hazard. Furthermore, it has attracted attention because several genotoxicity studies have shown that some vanadium compounds can affect DNA; among the most studied compounds is vanadium pentoxide, but studies in vivo with oxidation states IV and III are scarce and controversial. In this study, the genotoxic and cytotoxic potential of vanadium oxides was investigated in mouse bone marrow cells using structural chromosomal aberration (SCA) and mitotic index (MI) test systems. Three groups were administered vanadium(IV) tetraoxide (V2O4) intraperitoneally at 4.7, 9.4 or 18.8 mg/kg, and three groups were administered vanadium(III) trioxide (V2O3) at 4.22, 8.46 or 16.93 mg/kg body weight. The control group was treated with sterile water, and the positive control group was treated with cadmium(II) chloride (CdCl2). After 24 h, all doses of vanadium compounds increased the percentage of cells with SCA and decreased the MI. Our results demonstrated that under the present experimental conditions and doses, treatment with V2O4 and V2O3 induces chromosomal aberrations and alters cell division in the bone marrow of mice.

Abstract
Vanadium(V) is a highly toxic multivalent, redox-sensitive element. It is widely distributed in the environment and employed in various industrial applications. Interactions between V and (micro)organisms have recently garnered considerable attention. This Review discusses the biogeochemical cycling of V and its corresponding bioremediation strategies. Anthropogenic activities have resulted in elevated environmental V concentrations compared to natural emissions. The global distributions of V in the atmosphere, soils, water bodies, and sediments are outlined here, with notable prevalence in Europe. Soluble V(V) predominantly exists in the environment and exhibits high mobility and chemical reactivity. The transport of V within environmental media and across food chains is also discussed. Microbially mediated V transformation is evaluated to shed light on the primary mechanisms underlying microbial V(V) reduction, namely electron transfer and enzymatic catalysis. Additionally, this Review highlights bioremediation strategies by exploring their geochemical influences and technical implementation methods. The identified knowledge gaps include the particulate speciation of V and its associated environmental behaviors as well as the biogeochemical processes of V in marine environments. Finally, challenges for future research are reported, including the screening of V hyperaccumulators and V(V)-reducing microbes and field tests for bioremediation approaches.

Abstract
Two new vanadium (V) complexes involving 6-hexyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (HTAR) and tetrazolium cation were studied. The following commercially available tetrazolium salts were used as the cation source: tetrazolium red (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazol-2-ium;chloride, TTC) and neotetrazolium chloride (2-[4-[4-(3,5-diphenyltetrazol-2-ium-2-yl)phenyl]phenyl]-3,5-diphenyltetrazol-2-ium;dichloride, NTC). The cations (abbreviated as TT+ and NTC+) impart high hydrophobicity to the ternary complexes, allowing vanadium to be easily extracted and preconcentrated in one step. The complexes have different stoichiometry. The V(V)-HTAR-TTC complex dimerizes in the organic phase (chloroform) and can be represented by the formula [(TT+)[VO2(HTAR)]]2. The other complex is monomeric (NTC+)[VO2(HTAR)]. The cation has a +1 charge because one of the two chloride ions remains undissociated: NTC+ = (NT2+Cl-)+. The ground-state equilibrium geometries of the constituent cations and final complexes were optimized at the B3LYP and HF levels of theory. The dimer [(TT+)[VO2(HTAR)]]2 is more suitable for practical applications due to its better extraction characteristics and wider pH interval of formation and extraction. It was used for cheap and reliable extraction-spectrophotometric determination of V(V) traces in real samples. The absorption maximum, molar absorptivity coefficient, limit of detection, and linear working range were 549 nm, 5.2 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1, 4.6 ng mL-1, and 0.015-2.0 μg mL-1, respectively.

Abstract
Immobilization of vanadium (V) in soils is one option to prevent groundwater contamination and plant uptake. Phytoremediation, microbial remediation, and chemical stabilization using soil amendments are among the leading environmentally friendly and economically feasible techniques in V remediation. Soil amendments were used to reduce V mobility by immobilizing it in the soil matrix through chemical stabilization, while bioremediation methods such as phytoremediation and microbial remediation were used to remove V from contaminated soils. Vanadium exists in several species and among them V5+ species are the most prevalent, toxic, and soluble form and present as a negatively charged ion (H2VO4- and HVO42-) in oxic soils above pH 4. Amendments used for chemical stabilization can change the physicochemical properties enhancing immobility of V in soil. The pH of the soil environment, point of zero charge of the colloid surface, and redox conditions are some of the most important factors that determine the efficiency of the amendment. Commonly used amendments for chemical stabilization include biochar, zeolites, organic acids, various clay minerals and oxides of elements such as iron, titanium, manganese, and aluminum. For bioremediation, chelating agents and microbial communities are used to mobilize V to enhance phyto-or microbial-extraction procedures. The objectives of this review were to discuss remediation methods of V while considering V speciation and toxicity in soil, and soil amendment application for V removal from soil. The information compiled in this review can guide further research on soil amendments for optimal V remediation in largely contaminated industrial sites.

Abstract
Hitherto, the effect of vanadium on higher plant growth remains an open topic. Therefore, nontargeted metabolomic and RNA-Seq profiling were implemented to unravel the possible alteration in alfalfa seedlings subjected to 0.1 mg L-1 (B group) and 0.5 mg L-1 (C group) pentavalent vanadium [(V(V)] versus control (A group) in this study. Results revealed that vanadium exposure significantly altered some pivotal transcripts and metabolites. The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) markedly up- and down-regulated was 21 and 23 in B_vs_A, 27 and 33 in C_vs_A, and 24 and 43 in C_vs_B, respectively. The number for significantly up- and down-regulated differential metabolites was 17 and 15 in B_vs_A, 43 and 20 in C_vs_A, and 24 and 16 in C_vs_B, respectively. Metabolomics and transcriptomics co-analysis characterized three significantly enriched metabolic pathways in C_vs_A comparing group, viz., α-linolenic acid metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, from which some differentially expressed genes and differential metabolites participated. The metabolite of traumatic acid in α-linolenic acid metabolism and apigenin in flavonoid biosynthesis were markedly upregulated, while phenylalanine in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis was remarkably downregulated. The genes of allene oxide cyclase (AOC) and acetyl-CoA acyltransferase (fadA) in α-linolenic acid metabolism, and chalcone synthase (CHS), flavonoid 3'-monooxygenase (CYP75B1), and flavonol synthase (FLS) in flavonoid biosynthesis, and caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were significantly downregulated. While shikimate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HCT) in flavanoid and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were conspicuously upregulated. Briefly, vanadium exposure induces a readjustment yielding in metabolite and the correlative synthetic precursors (transcripts/unigenes) in some branched metabolic pathways. This study provides a practical and in-depth perspective from transcriptomics and metabolomics in investigating the effects conferred by vanadium on plant growth and development.

Abstract
This study evaluated the occurrence and distribution of largely known pollutants (Ag, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Pd, and Zn), as well as emerging ones (Li, and V) in the water dissolved fraction, suspended particulate matter, and surface sediments from the lower course of the Negro River, Argentina. There are scarce preceding data on inorganic pollution in the entire watershed and, in the case of the emerging pollutants, there are almost no studies performed worldwide. Sampling was conducted in 2019 at six sampling sites, three of them mostly river dominated and the rest under marine domain. The samples were subjected to an acid digestion in a microwave digester, and analyzed using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Results: revealed that Cu, Li, V, and Zn were always on the top four of the highest average metal concentrations in water and sediment fractions. The pollution assessment indicated that the watershed might be exposed to anthropogenic pollution, as over 60% of Cu and Zn, and over 85% of Hg in water dissolved samples from the marine dominated sites were above the maximum recommended values from guidelines. The multivariate analyses characterized the watershed into two clusters, with metals in the sediment fraction mainly contributing to the uppermost sites. Indeed, sedimentary Cu and Zn background enrichment indices pointed out a moderate pollution of the river dominated sites. This study highlights the relevance of an integrative approach in metal pollution evaluation, as the results denoted a progressive deterioration of the watershed, affecting the water quality of the lower course of the Negro River and its adjacent coastal zone. Overall, these results contribute to a more complete evaluation of the potential to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals, with implications for future treatment strategies to enhance the environmental quality of the area.

Abstract
Soil is a vital contributor to the production of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, through the nitrogen cycle, which can be influenced by accumulated vanadium (V) in soil but it is less pronounced. This work investigated the response of soil N2O fluxes along with major nitrogen cycle products (ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite) to different vanadium contents (0, 200, 500, 800, and 1100 mg V/kg), and the underlying microbial mechanisms. N2O fluxes was significantly influenced at high V content (1100 mg V/kg) due to its corresponding high water-soluble V content. Microbial composition and their correlations with nitrogen cycle products showed that microbes in dominant phyla (Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria) and genus (Nocardioides, Lysobacter, Sphingomonas, and Marmoricola) might be the important contributor to N2O fluxes regardless of the V content. Moreover, high V contents (800, and 1100 mg V/kg) could enrich microbes involved in nitrogen cycle, but weaken their correlations with nitrogen-related products, such as in genus Bacillus, and change microbial correlation with N2O from associated with nitrate and nitrite to ammonium. Meanwhile, functional gene predication results showed that denitrifying genes nirKS and nosZ were negatively and positively correlated with V contents, respectively. These all further suggested that the shift of possible N2O metabolic pathways induced mainly by water-soluble V might be the underlying reason for N2O fluxes. These findings promote an understanding of the potential effect of metal pollution on N2O fluxes in soil.

Abstract
Vanadium is a component of different natural and industrial products and a widely used metal, which, nonetheless, has only garnered attention in recent years owing to its potential risks. Six sampling trips were conducted over different seasons and years, collecting 108 samples from rivers and 232 from the bays and analyzed using high-precision inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. This study investigated the sources, spatiotemporal characteristics, and risks of vanadium in the aquatic ecosystems of two typical bays of the Northwest Pacific that have strong links with vanadium-related industries. Likewise, the health and ecological risks were assessed using probabilistic and deterministic approaches. Overall, vanadium concentrations were higher in Jiaozhou Bay (JZB: 0.41-52.7 μg L-1) than in Laizhou Bay (LZB: 0.39-17.27 μg L-1), with concentrations higher than the majority of the worldwide studies. Vanadium-realted industries significantly impacted (p < 0.05) the metal concentrations in the rivers with 54.22% (40.73-150%) and 54.45% (27.66%-68.87%) greater concentrations in JZB and LZB rivers. In addition, vanadium exhibited significant seasonal variation, and higher values were quantified during the monsoon period at LZB owing to the greater catchment area. Impacted by smaller freshwater inputs, the post-monsoon period had substantial impacts on JZB, and vanadium in the rivers and bays was significantly higher during the winter. Despite some concentrations being higher than that indicated in the drinking water guidelines established by China, vanadium presents low to null risks to the population as per both approaches. Last, species with limited resilience are likely to face medium to high risks, with an incidence of 65-93% using the probabilistic method and 52-97% using the deterministic assessment.

Abstract
As an important commercial form of vanadium, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is widely used in various modern industries, and its environmental impacts and ecotoxicity have been extensively studied. In this research, the ecotoxicity of V2O5 to earthworms (Eisenia fetida) in soil was tested by exposure to V2O5 at a series of doses, and biochemical response indices, such as the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, were analysed to determine the mechanism by which antioxidant enzymes respond to V2O5 exposure. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of vanadium pentoxide in the earthworms and soil was also measured to explore the bioaccumulation process of V2O5 in the test period. The results showed that the acute and subchronic lethal toxicity values of V2O5 towards E. fetida were 21.96 mg/kg (LC50, 14 days) and 6.28 mg/kg (LC10, 28 days), respectively. For the antioxidant enzymes, SOD and CAT were synchronously induced or inhibited within the time period, and the enzyme activity had a dose-effect relationship with the V2O5 concentration. MDA analysis indicated that lipid peroxidation in earthworms mainly occurred at the early stage and was eliminated slowly in the later stage during the test time. In addition, the BAFs were much less than 1, which indicated that V2O5 did not easily accumulate in earthworms, and the BAF was positively correlated with the exposure time and negatively linearly correlated with the V2O5 concentration in the soil. These results indicated that the bioconcentration and metabolic mechanism of V2O5 in earthworms differed with the different exposure concentrations, and bioaccumulation became balanced after 14-28 days in earthworms exposed to a relatively lower dose of V2O5. The analysis of the integrated biomarker response (IBR) index indicated that the trends of IBR values were positively related to the changing V2O5 concentration, and the IBR index could reflect the organism's sensitivity to the external stimulus of V2O5. The toxicity of V2O5 is mainly caused by V5+, which is also an important factor in formulating guidelines regarding vanadium levels in soil, and the test earthworm species (Eisenia fetida) is a sensitive biological indicator for risk assessments of vanadium oxidation in the soil.

Abstract
Hong Kong is an urbanized coastal city which experiences substantially different metal loads from anthropogenic activities. This study was aimed at analyzing the spatial distribution and pollution evaluation of ten selected heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Zn, Fe, V) in the coastal sediments of Hong Kong. The distribution of heavy metal pollution in sediments has been analyzed using the geographic information system (GIS) technique, and their pollution degrees, corresponding potential ecological risks and source identifications, have been studied by applying the enrichment factor (EF) analysis, contamination factor (CF) analysis, potential ecological risk index (PEI), and integrated multivariate statistical methods, respectively. Firstly, the GIS technique was used to access the spatial distribution of the heavy metals; the result revealed that pollution trend of these metals was decreased from the inner to the outer coast sites of the studied area. Secondly, combining the EF analysis and CF analysis, we found that the pollution degree of heavy metals followed the order of Cu > Cr > Cd > Zn > Pb > Hg > Ni > Fe > As > V. Thirdly, the PERI calculations showed that Cd, Hg, and Cu were the most potential ecological risk factors compared to other metals. Finally, cluster analysis combined with principal component analysis showed that Cr, Cu, Hg, and Ni might originate from the industrial discharges and shipping activities. V, As, and Fe were mainly derived from the natural origin, whereas Cd, Pb, and Zn were identified from the municipal discharges and industrial wastewater. In conclusion, this work should be helpful in the establishment of strategies for contamination control and optimization of industrial structures in Hong Kong.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 330:117201.

Abstract
Soil covering is an operative measure to decline pollutant release in tailings reservoirs and promote vegetation restoration, yet urgent research still needs to probe into pollutant leaching and migration in the artifact technology under extreme precipitation. Here, a soil column leaching experiment was designed to explore the migration and behaviors of vanadium (V) in the system of vanadium titano-magnetite tailings (VTMTs) covered by soils with different depths (5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm). Chemical fractions of V in the VTMTs and covered soils were analyzed to decipher the mechanisms underlying the V migration. We found a limited V leaching (0.26-0.52 μg/L, <0.01% of total V) in the columns during the experiments, and V in the VTMTs was not apt to be leached or migrate upward to the overlying soils. The soil volumes overlaid had nonsignificant effect on the V behaviors in the VTMTs (P > 0.05), because of the dominant and stable residual V (96.4% of total V) in the tailings. Although acid soluble V might be transformed to oxidizable V, it was resupplied by the fractions of weak-bound V in the solid phases during the leaching experiments. The mineral metal (hydr)oxides (e.g., aluminum, iron) determined the V behaviors in the VTMTs via absorption effect, and the high affinity of V to organic matters probably prevented its migration throughout the overlying soils. The results indicate that soil covering measure in the VTMTs reservoirs effectively reduces V migration or release from the tailings through leaching or upward migration, which provides a significant guidance for vegetation restoration in V-rich tailings reservoirs.

Abstract
In the present study a mass balance calculation was used to quantify trace elements (Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ti, V and Zn) fluxes exported from the Serinhaém River estuary to the Atlantic Ocean. The studied elements exportation in the particulate fraction showed higher fluxes in the first sampling campaign and a high export rate to the Atlantic Ocean during this period. The physical-chemical parameters showed the highest values in sampling campaign 1. These variations are probably the cause of the different trace elements behavior in fluvial and estuarine areas, where removal and addition processes between particulate and dissolved phases took place, affecting distribution coefficient and fluxes to the Atlantic Ocean. EPA ecosystems present values in accordance with Brazilian legislation for pristine areas, however, monitoring programs must be carried out in the region, to avoid future environmental problems.

Abstract
Toxic trace elements (TEs) can pose serious risks to ecosystems and human health. However, a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric emission inventories for several concerning TEs has not yet been developed. In this study, we systematically reviewed the status and progress of existing research in developing atmospheric emission inventories of TEs focusing on global, regional, and sectoral scales. Multiple studies have strengthened our understanding of the global emission of TEs, despite attention being mainly focused on Hg and source classification in different studies showing large discrepancies. In contrast to those of developed countries and regions, the officially published emission inventory is still lacking in developing countries, despite the fact that studies on evaluating the emissions of TEs on a national scale or one specific source category have been numerous in recent years. Additionally, emissions of TEs emitted from waste incineration and traffic-related sources have produced growing concern with worldwide rapid urbanization. Although several studies attempt to estimate the emissions of TEs based on PM emissions and its source-specific chemical profiles, the emission factor approach is still the universal method. We call for more extensive and in-depth studies to establish a precise localization national emission inventory of TEs based on adequate field measurements and comprehensive investigation to reduce uncertainty.

Abstract
Particle-size classes (7 fractions from 0.8 to 2000 μm) were collected in the deep chlorophyll maximum along a Mediterranean transect including the northern coastal zone (bays of Toulon and Marseilles, France), the offshore zone (near the North Balearic Thermal Front), and the southern coastal zone (Gulf of Gabès, Tunisia). Concentrations of biotic metals and metalloids (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Sb, V, Zn) bound to living or dead organisms and faecal pellets were assessed by phosphorus normalisation. Biotic metals and metalloids concentrations (except Cr, Mn, and V) were higher in the offshore zone than in the coastal zones. In addition, biotic Sb and V concentrations appeared to be affected by atmospheric deposition, and biotic Cr concentrations appeared to be affected by local anthropogenic inputs. Essential elements (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, V, Zn) were very likely controlled both by the metabolic activity of certain organisms (nanoeukaryotes, copepods) and trophic structure. In the northern coastal zone, biomagnification of essential elements was controlled by copepods activities. In the offshore zone, metals and metalloids were not biomagnified probably due to homeostasis regulatory processes in organisms. In the southern coastal zone, biomagnification of As, Cu, Cr, Sb could probably induce specific effects within the planktonic network.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) constitute a group of persistent toxic pollutants, and the petroleum industry is one of the sources of these metals. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and vanadium (V) in Plantago ovata and milk and tissues of domestic goats in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. Plant samples and blood, milk, muscle, liver, and kidney samples were collected from domestic goats and the levels of Pb, Cd, V, and Ni were determined. Liver and kidney tissue injury, oxidative stress, and expression of pro-inflammatory and apoptosis markers were evaluated. Pb, Cd, V, and Ni were increased in Plantago ovata as well as in milk, blood, muscle, liver, and kidney of goats collected from the polluted site. Aminotransferases, creatinine, and urea were increased in serum, and histopathological changes were observed in the liver and kidney of goats at the oil extraction site. Malondialdehyde and the expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, Bax, and caspase-3 were increased, whereas cellular antioxidants and Bcl-2 were decreased in liver and kidney of goats at the polluted site. In conclusion, petroleum industry caused liver and kidney injury, oxidative stress, and upregulated pro-inflammatory and apoptosis markers in goats. These findings highlight the negative impact of petroleum industry on the environment and call attention to the assessment of its effect on the health of nearby communities.

Abstract
We investigated vanadium, i.e., a redox-active heavy metal widely known for the generation of oxidative stress in cultured mammalian cells, to determine its ability to interfere with common oxidative stress-related bioassays in cell-free conditions. We first assessed the prooxidant abilities (H2O2 level, oxidation of DHR 123, and DCFH-DA dyes) and antioxidant capacity (ABTS, RP, OH, and DPPH methods) of popular mammalian cell culture media, i.e., Minimal Essential Medium (MEM), Dulbecco's Minimal Essential Medium (DMEM), Dulbecco's Minimal Essential Medium-F12 (DMEM/F12), and RPMI 1640. Out of the four media studied, DMEM has the highest prooxidant and antioxidant properties, which is associated with the highest concentration of prooxidant and antioxidant nutrients in its formulation. The studied vanadium compounds, vanadyl sulphate (VOSO4), or sodium metavanadate (NaVO3) (100, 500, and 1000 µM), either slightly increased or decreased the level of H2O2 in the studied culture media. However, these changes were in the range of a few micromoles, and they should rather not interfere with the cytotoxic effect of vanadium on cells. However, the tested vanadium compounds significantly stimulated the oxidation of DCFH-DA and DHR123 in a cell-independent manner. The type of the culture media and their pro-oxidant and antioxidant abilities did not affect the intensity of oxidation of these dyes by vanadium, whereas the vanadium compound type was important, as VOSO4 stimulated DCFH-DA and DHR oxidation much more potently than NaVO3. Such interactions of vanadium with these probes may artefactually contribute to the oxidation of these dyes by reactive oxygen species induced by vanadium in cells.

Abstract
The typically high heterogeneity of urban soil properties challenges their characterization and interpretation. The objective of this study was to investigate if proximally sensed volume-specific magnetic susceptibility and/or geochemical soil properties can uncover differences in anthropogenic, lithogenic and pedological contributions in, and between, urban soils. We also tested if volume-specific magnetic susceptibility can predict heavy metal enrichment. Data on 29 soil properties of 103 soil horizons from 16 soils from Ghent, Belgium, were analyzed by factor analysis. A correlation analysis, and in-depth analysis of five contrasting urban soils supplemented insights gained from the factor analysis. The factor analysis extracted four factors: 29.2 % of the soil property variability was attributed to fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes, with high (>0.80) loadings for S, organic carbon, magnetic susceptibility, and Zn. Furthermore, 26.0 % of the variability was linked to parent material differences, with high loadings (>0.80) for K, Rb and Ti. In absence of geogenic carbonates, increased soil alkalinity due to anthropogenic input of CaCO3 explained 17.0 % of the variability. Lastly, 4.7 % of the variability resulted from variable Zr contents by local geology. Elemental analysis by XRF, possibly combined with magnetic susceptibility measurements, helped to explain lateral or vertical differences related to (1) the nature of anthropogenic influence, for instance burning (e.g., by the S and Zn content) or the incorporation of building rubble (e.g., by the Ca content); (2) the particle size distribution (e.g., by the K, Rb or Ti content); (3) lithology (e.g., by the Zr content); or (4) pedology, such as organic matter build-up (e.g., by the S content) or leaching of alkalis (e.g., by the Ca content). Even though artifacts and soil translocation were common in the studied soils, volume-specific soil magnetic susceptibility measured on fine earth predicted the total heavy metal pollution loading index well (Pearson correlation = 0.85).

Abstract
Geochemical maps can be used for a variety of purposes, one of which is to establish regional or local geochemical thresholds for the analyzed elements. In the case of vanadium, as industrial demand and use increase, it is necessary to expand the development of vanadium in Korea. However, the environmental management standards are insufficient. Therefore, in this study, using geochemical data, we derived geochemical threshold values for the entire country and areas with potential for the development of vanadium deposits. The regional (country-wide) threshold value was derived using logarithmic transformation of raw data (N = 23,548) of the first- and second-order stream sediments collected across the country in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The median + 2 median absolute deviation (MAD) and Tukey inner fence (TIF) values were 116 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg, respectively. Of these, the TIF standard, which showed 0.6% of data exceeding the threshold, was judged to be appropriate for distinguishing clear enrichment or contamination of vanadium. In the case of the Geumsan and Pocheon, areas with potential for vanadium development, the TIF and median + 2 MAD values of 259 mg/kg and 218 mg/kg, respectively, can be used as the criteria for evaluating the impact of environmental pollution before and after deposit development. Likewise, by deriving threshold values of the target elements using geochemical map data, it is possible to provide basic environmental information for geochemical evaluation and follow-up management in advance during large-scale site development.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) and microplastics in soils draw increasing attention considering their significant threats to ecosystems. However, little is known about the vertical co-distribution of V and microplastics in soil profile and their combined effects on microbial community dynamics and assembly. This study investigated the spatial distribution of V and microplastics in the soils at a V smelting site and the associated microbial community characteristics along the vertical gradient. Both V and microplastics were found in the 50 cm soil profile with average concentrations of 203.5 ± 314.4 mg/kg and 165.1 ± 124.8 item/kg, respectively. Topsoil (0-20 cm) and subsoil (20-50 cm) displayed distinct microbial community compositions. Metal-tolerant (e.g., Spirochaeta, Rubellimicrobium) and organic-degrading (e.g., Bradyrhizobium, Pseudolabrys) taxa as biomarkers were more abundant in the topsoil layer. V and microplastics directly affected the microbial structure in the topsoil and had indirect influences in the subsoil, with direct impacts from organic matter. In topsoil, deterministic processes were more prevalent for community assembly, whereas stochastic processes governed the subsoil. The interspecific relationship was closer in topsoil with greater network complexity and higher modularity. These findings promote the understanding of distinct heterogeneity of microbial communities jointly driven by V and microplastics in soil environment.

Abstract
Iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), and vanadium (V) are the main components of the three known biological nitrogenases, which constrain nitrogen fixation and affect ecosystem productivity. Atmospheric deposition is an important pathway of these trace metals into ecosystems. Here, we explored the deposition flux, spatiotemporal pattern, and influencing factors of atmospheric wet Fe, Mo, and V deposition based on China Wet Deposition Observation Network (ChinaWD) data from 2016 to 2020. Our results showed that atmospheric wet Fe, Mo, and V deposition was 7.77 ± 7.24, 0.16 ± 0.11, and 0.13 ± 0.12 mg m-2 a-1 in Chinese terrestrial ecosystems, respectively, and revealed obvious spatial patterns but no significant annual trends. Wet Fe deposition was significantly correlated with the soil Fe content. Mo and V deposition was more affected by anthropogenic activities than Fe deposition. Wet Mo deposition was significantly affected by Mo ore reserves and waste incineration. V deposition was significantly correlated with domestic biomass burning. This study quantified wet Fe, Mo, and V deposition in China for the first time, and the implications of atmospheric trace metal deposition on biological nitrogen fixation were discussed.

Abstract
As a prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the neuropathological hallmark of the loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DAergic) innervation and the appearance of Lewy bodies with aggregated α-synuclein. Although several familial forms of PD have been reported to be associated with several gene variants, most cases in nature are sporadic, triggered by a complex interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors. Numerous epidemiological studies during the past two decades have shown positive associations between PD and several environmental factors, including exposure to neurotoxic pesticides/herbicides and heavy metals as well as traumatic brain injury. Other environmental factors that have been implicated as potential risk factors for PD include industrial chemicals, wood pulp mills, farming, well-water consumption, and rural residence. In this review, we summarize the environmental toxicology of PD with the focus on the elaboration of chemical toxicity and the underlying pathogenic mechanisms associated with exposure to several neurotoxic chemicals, specifically 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), rotenone, paraquat (PQ), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), dieldrin, manganese (Mn), and vanadium (V). Our overview of the current findings from cellular, animal, and human studies of PD provides information for possible intervention strategies aimed at halting the initiation and exacerbation of environmentally linked PD.

Abstract
Anthropogenic emissions of vanadium (V) into terrestrial and aquatic surface systems now match those of geogenic processes, and yet, the geochemistry of vanadium is poorly described in comparison to other comparable contaminants like arsenic. In oxic systems, V is present as an oxyanion with a +5 formal charge on the V center, typically described as H x VO4 (3-x)-, but also here as V(V). Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) (oxy)hydroxides represent key mineral phases in the cycling of V(V) at the solid-solution interface, and yet, fundamental descriptions of these surface-processes are not available. Here, we utilize extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and thermodynamic calculations to compare the surface complexation of V(V) by the common Fe and Mn mineral phases ferrihydrite, hematite, goethite, birnessite, and pyrolusite at pH 7. Inner-sphere V(V) complexes were detected on all phases, with mononuclear V(V) species dominating the adsorbed species distribution. Our results demonstrate that V(V) adsorption is exergonic for a variety of surfaces with differing amounts of terminal -OH groups and metal-O bond saturations, implicating the conjunctive role of varied mineral surfaces in controlling the mobility and fate of V(V) in terrestrial and aquatic systems.

Abstract
Vanadium-bearing dusts from industrial processes release abundant toxic vanadium, posing imminent ecological and human health concerns. Although the precipitation of these dusts has been recognized as the main source of soil vanadium pollution, little is known regarding the interrelationships between industrial dusts and soil inherent compositions. In this study, the interactions between dusts from vanadium smelting and soil indigenous microorganisms were investigated. Soluble vanadium (V) [V(V)] released from industrial dusts was reduced by 41.5 ± 0.39% with soil addition, compared to water leaching. Reducible fraction accounted for the highest proportion (55.1 ± 1.73%) of vanadium speciation in the resultant soils, while residual vanadium fraction increased to 83.7 ± 3.22% in the leached dusts. Functional genera (e.g., Aliihoeflea, Actinotalea) that transformed V(V) to insoluble vanadium (IV) alleviated dissolved vanadium release. Nitrate/nitrite reduction and glutathione metabolisms contributed to V(V) immobilization primarily. Structural equation model analysis indicated that V(V) reducers had significant negative impacts on soluble V(V) in the leachate. This first-attempt study highlights the importance of soil microorganisms in immobilizing vanadium from industrial dusts, which is helpful to develop novel strategies to reduce their environmental risks associated to vanadium smelting process.

Abstract
Chemical contaminants are one of the causes of the ongoing degradation of coastal and estuarine nurseries, key functional habitats in which the juveniles of many marine species grow. As chemical contaminants can cause a decrease in the energy available and induce defence mechanisms reducing the amount of energy allocated to life history traits, quantifying their effect on the fitness of juvenile fish is key to understand their population-level consequences. However, these effects are primarily estimated experimentally or in the wild but on a limited number of contaminants or congeners that do not reflect the wide variety of chemical contaminants to which juvenile fish are exposed. To address this issue, we measured concentrations of 14 trace metal elements (TMEs) and bioaccumulative organic contaminants (OCs) in European sea bass juveniles (1-year-old) from three major French nurseries (Seine, Loire and Gironde estuaries). We tested the hypotheses that (i) levels and profiles of contaminants differed among studied nurseries, and ii) fish growth and body condition (based on morphometric measurements and muscle C:N ratio) were lower in individuals with higher contaminant concentrations. Multivariate analyses showed that each nursery had distinct contaminant profiles for both TMEs and OCs, confirming the specific contamination of each estuary, and the large array of contaminants accumulated by sea bass juveniles. Increasing concentrations in some TMEs were associated to decreased growth, and TMEs were consistently related to lower fish body condition. The effect of OCs was more difficult to pinpoint possibly due to operational constraints (i.e., analyses on pooled fish) with contrasting results (i.e., higher growth and decreased body condition). Overall, this study shows that chemical contaminants are related to lower fish growth and body condition at an early life stage in the wild, an effect that can have major consequences if sustained in subsequent ages and associated with a decline in survival and/or reproductive success.

The paper presents the results of the studies on the vanadium (V) ions removal from the aqueous solutions in the adsorption process on biochars from different biomass types (cow manure BC1, wet distiller grains BC2, spent mushroom substrates BC3). The adsorbents were characterized by means of the SEM-EDS, FTIR, XRD and XPS techniques. The influence of adsorbent type and basic process parameters, such as pH and metal ion concentration in aqueous phase, adsorbent dose and time of contact of phases on the efficiency of V(V) was determined. Based on the obtained results, the mechanism and kinetics of the adsorption processes occurring on the biochar originating from the wet distiller grains as adsorbents with the greatest affinity for the V(V) ions were characterized, using isotherm models of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich and pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order as well as intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. Under the constant process conditions (pH = 3.0; m = 0.5 g; c0 = 50 mg/L) the order of V(V) ions removal from aqueous solutions was as follows: BC2 > BC1 = BC3. The biochar BC2 exhibited the maximum sorption capacity of 1.61 mg V(V)/g. The experimental kinetic data show the adsorption course according to the pseudo-second order model.

Abstract
Metal-ion batteries have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage system due to their unlimited resources and competitive price/performance ratio. Vanadium-based compounds have diverse oxidation states rendering various open-frameworks for ions storage. To date, some vanadium-based polyanionic compounds have shown great potential as high-performance electrode materials. However, there has been a growing concern regarding the cost and environmental risk of vanadium. In this Review, all links in the industry chain of vanadium-based electrodes were comprehensively summarized, starting with an analysis of the resources, applications, and price fluctuation of vanadium. The manufacturing processes of the vanadium extraction and recovery technologies were discussed. Moreover, the commercial potentials of some typical electrode materials were critically appraised. Finally, the environmental impact and sustainability of the industry chain were evaluated. This critical Review will provide a clear vision of the prospects and challenges of developing vanadium-based electrode materials.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) is a common environmental and industrial pollutant that can cause nephrotoxicity in animals in excess. The purpose of this research was to explore the interaction between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy induced by V in the kidney of ducks. Duck renal tubule epithelial cells were exposed to different concentrations of sodium metavanadate (NaVO3) (0, 100 and 200 μM) and PERK inhibitor (GSK, 1 μM), or autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine, 50 μM) alone for 24 h (chloroquine for the last 4 h). The results showed that exposure to V caused the dilatation and swelling of the ER and intracellular calcium overload, and upregulated PERK, eIF2α, ATF4 and CHOP mRNA levels and p-PERK and CHOP protein levels associated with ER stress in cells. Additionally, V markedly increased the number of autophagosomes, acidic vesicular organelles (AVOs) and LC3 puncta, as well as the mRNA levels of Beclin1, Atg5, Atg12, LC3A and LC3B and protein levels of Beclin1, Atg5 and LC3B-II/LC3B-I, but decreased the imRNA and protein levels of p62. Moreover, treatment with the PERK inhibitor ameliorated the changed factors above induced by V, but the V-induced variation of ER-stress related factors were aggravated after treatment with the autophagy inhibitor. Together, our data suggested that excessive V could induce ER stress and autophagy in duck renal tubular epithelial cells. ER stress might promote V-induced autophagy via the PERK/ATF4/CHOP signaling pathway, and autophagy may play a role in alleviating ER stress induced by V.

Effects of Sodium Pyruvate on Vanadyl Sulphate-Induced Reactive Species Generation and Mitochondrial Destabilisation in CHO-K1 Cells. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11050909.

Abstract
Vanadium is ranked as one of the world’s critical metals considered important for economic growth with wide use in the steel industry. However, its production, applications, and emissions related to the combustion of vanadium-containing fuels are known to cause harm to the environment and human health. Pyruvate, i.e., a glucose metabolite, has been postulated as a compound with multiple cytoprotective properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the present study was to examine the antioxidant potential of sodium pyruvate (4.5 mM) in vanadyl sulphate (VOSO4)-exposed CHO-K1 cells. Dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate and dihydrorhodamine 123 staining were performed to measure total and mitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. Furthermore, mitochondrial damage was investigated using MitoTell orange and JC-10 staining assays. We demonstrated that VOSO4 alone induced a significant rise in ROS starting from 1 h to 3 h after the treatment. Additionally, after 24 and 48 h of exposure, VOSO4 elicited both extensive hyperpolarisation and depolarisation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). The two-way ANOVA analysis of the results showed that, through antagonistic interaction, pyruvate prevented VOSO4-induced total ROS generation, which could be observed at the 3 h time point. In addition, through the independent action and antagonistic interaction with VOSO4, pyruvate provided a pronounced protective effect against VOSO4-mediated mitochondrial toxicity at 24-h exposure, i.e., prevention of VOSO4-induced hyperpolarisation and depolarisation of MMP. In conclusion, we found that pyruvate exerted cytoprotective effects against vanadium-induced toxicity at least in part by decreasing ROS generation and preserving mitochondrial functions

Abstract
The petroleum industry can impact the environment and human health. Heavy metals (HMs), including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and vanadium (V), are toxic pollutants found in petroleum that can cause several severe diseases. This study investigated the impact of the oil industry on the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, pointing to HMs accumulation, tissue injury, redox imbalance, inflammation, and apoptosis. Soil and camel samples (milk, blood, muscle, liver, and kidney) were collected from a site near an oil industry field and another two sites to analyze HMs. Pb, Cd, Ni, and V were increased in the soil and in the camel’s milk, blood, muscle, liver, and kidney at the polluted site. Serum aminotransferases, urea, and creatinine were elevated, and histopathological alterations were observed in the liver and kidney of camels at the oil industry site. Hepatic and renal lipid peroxidation, pro-inflammatory cytokines, Bax, and caspase-3 were increased, whereas cellular antioxidants and Bcl-2 declined in camels at the oil extraction site. In conclusion, the oil industry caused soil and tissue accumulation of HMs, liver and kidney injury, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in camels living close to the oil extraction site. These findings pinpoint the negative impact of the oil industry on the environment, animal, and human health.

Abstract
The Saronikos Gulf is under a lot of anthropogenic pressure, such as the urban expansion of the metropolitan area of Athens, the port of Piraeus and marinas, industrial activities, and tourism. Heavy metal pollution has been a major environmental problem in the area for many decades. Sedimentary cores have proven to be an invaluable indicator of heavy metal pollution, as they can reveal not only the current metal inputs but also the evolution of pollution over time, and with the appropriate geochemical analyses, they can provide information on the potential toxicity of metals. In this study, the temporal evolution and the chemical speciation of eleven elements were examined in sediment cores from Elefsis Bay and the Inner Saronikos Gulf, with an emphasis on the emerging environmental hazards (V and Ag). The results showed extensive pollution of the sediments by Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Cd, and Pb from the 1910s and 1960s in Eastern and Western Elefsis Bay, respectively. A significant decrease of the sediment enrichment in V, Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Ag since 2000 was observed in the part of the Inner Saronikos Gulf that is mainly influenced by the WWTP of Athens. However, a toxicity assessment using the metal contents of the surface sediments showed that most of the trace elements studied still pose a moderate to high risk of toxicity to benthic ecosystems. The present study highlighted the urgent need for focused research and the management of trace element inputs, particularly Ag in the Inner Saronikos Gulf, where severe sediment modification was evident.

Abstract
We synthesize the information available from the peer-reviewed literature on the ecological status of lakes and rivers in the oil sands region (OSR) of Canada. The majority of the research from the OSR has been performed in or near the minable region and examines the concentrations, flux, or enrichment of contaminants of concern (CoCs). Proximity to oil sands facilities and the beginning of commercial activities tend to be associated with greater estimates of CoCs across studies. Research suggests the higher measurements of CoCs are typically associated with wind-blown dust, but other sources also contribute. Exploratory analyses further suggest relationships with facility production and fuel use data. Exceedances of environmental quality guidelines for CoCs are also reported in lake sediments, but there are no indications of toxicity including those within the areas of the greatest atmospheric deposition. Instead, primary production has increased in most lakes over time. Spatial differences are observed in streams, but causal relationships with industrial activity are often confounded by substantial natural influences. Despite this, there may be signals associated with site preparation for new mines, potential persistent differences, and a potential effect of petroleum coke used as fuel on some indices of health in fish captured in the Steepbank River. There is also evidence of improvements in the ecological condition of some rivers. Despite the volume of material available, much of the work remains temporally, spatially, or technically isolated. Overcoming the isolation of studies would enhance the utility of information available for the region, but additional recommendations for improving monitoring can be made, such as a shift to site-specific analyses in streams and further use of industry-reported data.

Abstract
The reduction of atmospheric dinitrogen by nitrogenase is a key component of terrestrial nitrogen cycling. Nitrogenases exist in several isoforms named after the metal present within their active center: the molybdenum (Mo), the vanadium (V), and the iron (Fe)-only nitrogenase. While earlier in vitro studies hint that the relative contribution of V nitrogenase to total BNF could be temperature-dependent, the effect of temperature on in vivo activity remains to be investigated. In this study, we characterize the in vivo effect of temperature (3-42 °C) on the activities of Mo nitrogenase and V nitrogenase in the heterocystous cyanobacteria Anabaena variabilis ATTC 29413 using the acetylene reduction assay by cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy. We demonstrate that V nitrogenase becomes as efficient as Mo nitrogenase at temperatures below 10-15 °C. At temperatures above 22 °C, BNF seems to be limited by O2 availability to respiration in both enzymes. Furthermore, Anabaena variabilis cultures grown in Mo or V media achieved similar growth rates at temperatures below 20 °C. Considering the average temperature on earth is 15 °C, our findings further support the role of V nitrogenase as a viable backup enzymatic system for BNF in natural ecosystems.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) and microplastics have been respectively detected in environmental media, posing threats to ecosystem and human health. However, their co-existence situations in environment with microbial adaptation have been poorly understood. In this study, water and sediments collected from potential V polluted marine and riverine ecosystems were analyzed to reveal the distribution of V and microplastics with microbial responses. High concentrations of V (1.65-6.92 μg/L in water and 6.16-347.92 mg/kg in sediment) and microplastics (800-15600 item/m3 in water and 20-700 item/kg in sediment) co-occurred in aquatic environment. Less rich and diverse bacterial communities were colonized on microplastics compared to surrounding environment. Plastic-degrading taxa (e.g., Ralstonia, Rhodococcus) and V(V) reducers (e.g., Bacillus, Pseudomonas) were enriched in microplastic biofilms. Redundancy analysis showed that V, together with nutrients, ambient conditions and Cr, contributed significantly to the compositions of microbial community on microplastics. Besides directly acting on microbial community, V could also alter it by influencing environmental factors (e.g., pH), as indicated through structural equation model. This study advances understanding the previously ignored interactions of biogeochemical processes of V and microplastics in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Elevated vanadium in the environment adversely affects organisms, including plants, animals, and humans. Plants act as the main conduit for environmental vanadium to enter the food chain, and simultaneously their growth response characteristics reflect vanadium toxicity efficacy for plants. The aim of the present study is to investigate lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) growth involving morphological change, physiological adjustment, vanadium accumulation under vanadium stress, and the potential health risk (expressed as health risk index (HRI)) of adults and children who consume it. Lettuce was grown in nutrient solution with 0, 0.1, 0.5, 2.0, and 4.0 mg L-1 of pentavalent vanadium [V(V)]. Results showed that 0.1 mg L-1 V did not significantly affect lettuce growth versus control, and marked depression arose at ≥ 0.5 mg L-1 V. Foliar proline increased rapidly at ≥ 0.5 mg L-1 V. No striking change emerged in leaf cell membrane permeability at all treatments. V(V) and total vanadium concentration in plant tissues were ordered as root > stem > leaf, while tetravalent vanadium [V(IV)] was leaf > root > stem. No health risk (HRI < 1) exists for adults and children who consume lettuce at control treatment. However, the health risk occurs (HRI ˃ 1) when they both ingest the seedlings exposed to ≥ 0.1 mg L-1 V, and the risk overall markedly increases with increasing vanadium. Therefore, enough attention needs to be paid to the human health associated with the ingestion of vegetables like lettuce grown in substrata contaminated by vanadium.

Abstract
Surface water samples from the Perdido study area presented Cd and V concentrations similar to those reported internationally for waters with: (1) fossil fuel extraction, processing and burning, and (2) sites polluted by anthropogenic wastewater. Results showed an order of magnitude increase in time for Cd, therefore, no general average value was established. For V, however, results of this study suggest a general average value of 1.4 µg L-1 for the area. The observed spatial variation of concentrations could be the result of: (1) temporal variation of external inputs to the area, and coincide with previously reported hydrodynamic patterns of dispersion related to significant river contributions and accumulation areas indicative of eddy circulation or fronts. The Perdido area showed Cd and V concentrations in surface water reflective of anthropogenic impacts, while its spatial and temporal variation could depend significantly on the hydrodynamics of the area.

Spatial and Temporal Variations of Vanadium and Cadmium in Surface Water from the Yucatan Shelf. BULLETIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY 2022; 108:43-48.

Abstract
Surface water samples from the Yucatan shelf presented Cd concentrations similar to those reported internationally for non-polluted coastal and marine waters. V concentrations, on the other hand, fall within the range of anthropogenically polluted waters (25% of the sampling sites). In the study area, the probable sources of V could be: (1) carbonate sediments leaching V into the water column and co-transported with fine sediments resuspending as a result of the complex hydrodynamics in the area or, (2) accidental spills from cargo ships transporting oil between the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. Significant spatial and temporal differences were found for both metals; therefore, a regional interval concentration is suggested for V from 1.28 to 1.84 μg L-1 and Cd from 0.003 to 0.09 μg L-1. These differences could primarily be the result of the observed hydrology and hydrodynamics created by the Yucatan current, submarine groundwater discharges and upwelling.

Citric acid and AMF inoculation combination-assisted phytoextraction of vanadium (V) by Medicago sativa in V mining contaminated soil. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:67472-67486.

Abstract
The use of citric acid (CA) chelator to facilitate metal bioavailability is a promising approach for the phytoextraction of heavy metal contaminants. However, the role of the CA chelator associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation on phytoextraction of vanadium (V) has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of CA chelator and AMF inoculation on growth performance and V phytoextraction of plants in V-contaminated soil. The experiment was performed via CA (at 0, 5, and 10 mM kg-1 soil levels) application alone or in combination with AMF inoculation by Medicago sativa Linn. (M. sativa). Plant biomass, root mycorrhizal colonization, P and V accumulation, antioxidant enzyme activity in plants, and soil chemical speciation of V were evaluated. Results depicted (1) a marked decline in plant biomass and root mycorrhizal colonization in 5- and 10-mM CA treatments which were accompanied by a significant increased V accumulation in plant tissues. The effects could be attributed to the enhanced acid-soluble V fraction transferring from the reducible fraction. (2) The presence of CA significantly enhanced P acquisition while the P/V concentration ratio in plant shoots and roots decreased, owing to the increased V translocation from soil to plant. (3) In both CA-treated soil, AMF-plant symbiosis significantly improved dry weight (31.4-73.3%) and P content (37.3-122.5%) in shoots and roots of M. sativa. The combined treatments also showed markedly contribution in reduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) content (12.8-16.2%) and higher antioxidants (SOD, POD, and CAT) activities in the leaves. This suggests their combination could promote growth performance and stimulate antioxidant response to alleviate V stress induced by CA chelator. (4) Taken together, 10 mM kg-1 CA application and AMF inoculation combination exhibited a higher amount of extracted V both in plant shoots and roots. Thus, citric acid-AMF-plant symbiosis provides a novel remediation strategy for in situ V phytoextraction by M. sativa in V-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Vanadium has been classified as a potentially toxic metal and has been given limited attention in comparison to similar trace metals. Similarly, worldwide and continental vanadium pollution and risks remain contested. Here, we synthesized the worldwide concentration of vanadium in marine ecosystems with the relevant ecological and human health risks. We found that vanadium in biota and seawater collected from Asia shows significant increases over the temporal analysis, with rates similar to those reported for vanadium consumption and production. Furthermore, invertebrates have a higher concentration of vanadium than fishes. Similarly, we demonstrate that sediments classified as polluted have concentrations that are not directly correlated with the highest concentrations across continents. Finally, ecological risks were higher from seawater, with potential impacts to 55% of aquatic species in Asia estimated from chronic species sensitivity distribution (SSD). The concentration endangering only 5% of seawater species (HC5) was estimated as 1.13 (0.05-21.19) μg L-1. Estimated daily intakes revealed that overall, there are none to low health risks from aquatic product consumption, yet high risks are plausible to children with consumption patterns in the 95th percentile.
