Abstract
Vanadium (V) is a contaminant which has been long confined to the annals of regulatory history. This follows the reduction of its historical primary source (fossil fuel emissions) since the 1970s (e.g., by 80% in the UK). However, V is quickly becoming an important strategic resource which promises its return to environmental prominence because of changing industrial practices and emerging waste streams. We discuss below (i) what makes V a re-emerging environmental and human health hazard of global interest, (ii) the knowledge gaps that currently restrict prediction of environmental effect and mitigation, and (iii) opportunities for the community to address these gaps toward reducing the risk of an impending environmental hazard.
