Abstract excerpt
Chronic inhalation of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) increases the incidence of alveolar/bronchiolar tumors in male and female B6C3F1 mice at 1, 2, or 4 mg/m(3). The genotoxicity of V2O5 has been extensively investigated in the literature with mixed results. In general, tests for gene mutations have been negative. Both positive and negative results were reported for clastogenicity in vitro with some reports suggesting...
