The "in-vivo'-toxicity of the Vanadium-oxides V20 5 and V203 (administered orally, dermally and by inhalation) has been reinvestigated with particular emphasis on the safety and handleability of vanadium-oxides in the vanadium processing industry. Chemical-thermodynamic properties of vanadium-oxides make it likely that some earlier results on vanadium-toxicities have introduced artefacts as a consequence of the administration-techniques used. Special precautions have therefore been taken to avoid any chemical changes or artificial interactions during sample-preparation to ensure that the results significantly reflect the toxicities of the vanadium-compounds as exposure to them might occur. The LDs0(14d)-values indicate, that V20 5 should be classified as "hamful" (V20 5 techn, grade fused oral LDso(14d): 716 mg/kg b.w. (rats m.) resp. 658 mg/kg b.w. (rats f.); inhal. LCs0 16.2mg/l (rats m.) resp. 4.0rag/1 (rats f.) for a 4-hour exposure), while V20 3 should be classified as "relatively non toxic" (V20 3 tech. grade powder oral: LDso(14d): 5639mg/kg b.w. (rats f.) resp. 8713 mg/kg b.w. (rats m.)) according to the EEC-commission directive of July 29, 1983 (83/467/EEC). Based on interaction-studies and considering new results reported in literature, a 3-level-model of the mechanism of vanadium-toxicity via oxygen-radicals is suggested. Neue Untersuchungen zur akuten Toxizit/it yon VanadiumoxidenZusammenfassung. Die "in-vivo"-Toxizit~it der Vanadium-Oxide V205 und V203 bei oraler, dermaler und inhalativer Applikation wurde neu untersucht. Aufgrund einer Analyse der chemisch-thermodynamischen Eigenschaften dieser V-Oxide wird nahegelegt, dab die Resultate einiger frtiherer Toxizit/itsuntersuchungen durch chemische VerS.nderungen der zu untersuchenden Stoffe bei der Probenvorbereitung verf/ilscht wurden. Nach den in-vivo-LDso(14d)-Werten ist V20 5 als "mindergiftig" (V20 5 techn. "fused" oral LDso(14d): 716 mg/kg b.w. (Ratten m.) bzw. 658 mg/kg b.w. (Ratten w.); inhalotiv LCso 16.2 mg/1 (Ratten m.) bzw. 4.0 mg/1 (Ratten w.) for a 4-hour exposure) bzw. V20 3 (techn. pulv. peroral LDso(14d): 5639 mg/kg KG (Ratten w.) bzw. 8713 mg/kg KG (Ratten m.) als relativ nicht toxisch-nicht klassifiziert gem~13 EEC-Commission-Directive vom 29. Juli 1983 (83/467/EEC) einzustufen. Basierend auf Studien der Interaktionswirkung bestimmter Substanzen und unter Eibeziehung der Resultate jtingst mitgeteilter Befunde zur Vanadium-Toxizit~t an Zellkulturen, wird ein ModelI zum Vanadium-Toxizitfits-Wirkungsmechanismus vorgeschlagen, das 3 Hauptmechanismen -abh/ingig yon der Konfrontations-Intensitfit (Konzentration und Expositionsdauer) -nahelegt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
