Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
In contact with water, vanadium is expected to exist primarily in the tetravalent and pentavalent forms. Both species are known to bind strongly to mineral or biogenic surfaces by adsorption or complexing. The chemical formulas of the vanadyl species most commonly reported in water are VO(2+) and VO(OH)(1+), and the vanadate species H2VO4(1-) and HVO4(2-).
The different reliable studies reported in this dossier are then linked to vanadium element toxicity.
Short term studies carried out on freshwater invertebrates, fish or algae, lead to a similar range of toxicity. The IC50 was between 1.8 and 3.5 mg V/L for Daphnia magna, between 3,17 et 27,8 mg V/L within 96h for fish species and the EC50 for growth rate at 9.5 mg V/L for algae.
For chronic toxicity, several data are reported for fish and invertebrates giving NOEC around 1 mg V/L for reproduction of daphnia and NOEC = 0,041 mg V/L for growth of Jordanella floridae (in which the Authors concluded with a sub- lethal toxicity threshold as a geometric mean of 0,17 and 0,041 : 0,08 mg V/L).
Concerning microorganisms, an activated sludge respiration inhibition test has been carried out with V2O5 and showed an EC10 (3 hours) of 14 mg V/L. This test followed the OECD 209 guideline, and was performed under GLP.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
