Abstract
Human exposure to vanadium (V) is anticipated because it is a drinking water contaminant. Due to limited data on soluble V salts, the National Toxicology Program is investigating the toxicity in rodents following drinking water exposure. Measurement of internal V dose allows for interpretation of toxicology data. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometric method to quantitate total V in rat plasma. The method was linear (r ≥ 0.99) from 5.00 - 1,000 ng V/mL. Intra- and inter-day relative error (% RE) and relative standard deviation (% RSD) of spiked plasma samples were 8.5% - 15.6% RE and ≤ 1.8% RSD and 7.3% - 11.7% RE and ≤ 3.1% RSD, respectively. The limit of detection was 0.268 ng V/mL plasma and absolute percent recovery was 113%. Standards up to 7,500 ng V/mL plasma were diluted into the validated range (5.6% RE, 0.9% RSD). V in extracted plasma samples over 15 days at ambient and refrigerated conditions was from 97.7 - 126% of day 0. Determined plasma V concentrations after three freeze-thaw cycles and after frozen storage for up to 63 days ranged from 100 - 106% and 100 - 122% of day 0, respectively. The method was extended to rat urine (accuracy and precision -2.0 - 0.3% RE and <0.6% RSD, respectively for same linear range). These data demonstrate that the method is suitable to quantitate V in rat plasma and urine.

Abstract
Vanadium was determined by radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA) with proven accuracy in urine of workers occupationally exposed to vanadium-rich dust in a vanadium pentoxide production plant, and values in the range of 3.02-762 ng/mL (median 33.0 ng/mL) were found. In a control group consisting of administrative workers of the plant, urinary vanadium levels were found in the range of 1.05-53.4 ng/mL (median 2.53 ng/mL), whereas in an another control group of occupationally nonexposed persons, these values amounted to 0.066-0.489 ng/mL (median 0.212 ng/mL). Accuracy of the results was tested by analysis of reference material IAEA A-13 Animal Blood and NIST SRM-1515 Apple Leaves, and very good agreement was found with literature and the NIST certified values, respectively. Unlike urine, no significant differences were found for cystine levels in fingernails and hair of exposed and control persons.

Abstract
Neutron activation analysis, in both its radiochemical and instrumental forms, is a precious technique for the determination of trace elements in biological materials. Probably its most important advantage is its relative freedom from errors resulting from contamination of the samples. Invaluable characteristics are also its excellent sensitivity, outstanding selectivity, and remarkable multielement capability. It is, however, necessary to warn against uncritical expectations. This is best illustrated by the seriously inconsistent results obtained in several laboratories. Because of the necessity to have access to a nuclear research reactor, the stringent safety rules to be observed, the rather high costs of the analyses, the relatively low sample throughput, and the sometimes long delay between the taking of a sample and the obtaining the final result, the use of neutron activation analysis remained restricted to a few--essentially research--laboratories. It found its main application in solving arduous problems and in paving the way for other analytical techniques better suited to routine applications.

Abstract
Although vanadium has been of great interest for many researchers over a number of years, its biochemical and physiological role is not yet fully clear. There are many papers describing the haematological consequences of its excess in living organisms and most of their data are quoted in this mini-review. The authors of these papers used various laboratory animals, different vanadium compounds, frequently different routes of administration and duration of intoxication. Hence a checklist and comparison of the results are rather difficult. Vanadium reduces the deformability of erythrocytes, and such cells are rather frequently retained in the reticuloendothelial system of the spleen and eliminated faster from the blood stream (Kogawa et al., 1976). Vanadium produces peroxidative changes in the erythrocyte membrane, this leading to haemolysis. Therefore, the depressed erythrocyte count in animals intoxicated with vanadium may be the consequence of both the haemolytic action of vanadium and the shortened time of survival of erythrocytes. Changes of the haem precursor level in blood serum and urine observed in humans exposed occupationally to vanadium suggest an influence of this element on haem synthesis. This problem requires, however, further studies and observations. Changes occurring under the influence of vanadium on the leukocyte system of animals suggest the influence of this element on the resistance of the organism, but the mechanism of the action of vanadium still requires elucidation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
