Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Read-across
Slags, steelmaking, vanadium is a sparingly soluble UVCB substance that upon dissolution may release minor amounts of vanadium and insignificant amounts of other elements. Thus, regarding the environmental toxicity (if any), vanadium is the moiety of concern. No reliable studies (Klimisch 1 or 2) on toxicity of vanadium substances to sediment organisms are available. A study (Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, 2009; Klimisch 3) on the toxicity of field-contaminated sediments enriched with both V and Mo by metallurgical activities did not show a significant toxic effect on growth and survival to Hyallela azteca in a 10-day test with sediments containing up to 503 and 1590 mg V/kg dry weight.
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.
