title: Determination of vanadium species in environmental samples.
abstract: The distribution of vanadium between different oxidation states plays an important role in its environmental chemistry. As its two most commons forms, vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) have different toxicity, speciation analysis of this element is necessary for environmental and biological samples. This paper presents recent research on the determination of vanadium species. Some important problems concerning stability of vanadium forms and proposed separation techniques are discussed.
