Abstract

The presence of toxic metals such as vanadium in water resources has attracted considerable attention as a new concern in international health. Systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess the concentration of vanadium in water resources along with the relevant ecological risk assessment. Databases of Scopus, PubMed, and Embase were investigated to retrieve the related articles from January 01, 1974 to December 25, 2019. Twenty-eight articles containing 152 samples from 24 countries were included. Furthermore, the meta-analysis was conducted by the approach of z-score to estimate differences in the effect size. In addition, the mean of concentrations of vanadium was applied to calculate the risk assessment only to the water surface and choose the maximum environmental concentration (MEC) for demonstrate a worst-case scenario. Here, the risk assessment approach was used to show that the MEC of vanadium confirm the risk it for aquatic ecosystems, being fish (e.g., Danio rerio) our model organism due to their sensibility. According to findings, the MEC of vanadium in surface water varied from 0.010 g L-1 (USA) and 68 g L-1 (China), with an overall mean of 6.21 +or- 13.3 g L-1 (mean +or- standard deviation). The ecological risk assessment demonstrated that people living in some countries such as China and Japan were at an adverse ecological risk of vanadium in the water resources. Hence, essential control plans besides adequate removal techniques must be implemented for significant deracination of heavy metals like vanadium.
