Using neutron activation analysis, vanadium was analysed in a range of foods, human body fluids and tissues. On the basis of these results and those of other workers, it was concluded that daily dietary intake amounts to some tens of micrograms. Analysis of body fluids (including milk, blood and excreta) and organs and tissues provided an estimate for the total body pool of vanadium in man of about 100 microgram. Vanadium was not detectable in blood and urine at the level of 0.3 ng/g, while low levels were found in muscle, fat, bone, teeth and other tissues. The relationship between dietary intake to pulmonary absorption is discussed in relation to the occurrence of vanadium in man-made air particulates. The very low levels found in milks and eggs suggest minimal vanadium requirements in growth. The findings are discussed in the light of previous results and also in relation to the possible essentiality of vanadium.
利用中子活化分析技术，对一系列食物、人体体液和组织中的钒进行了分析。根据这些结果以及其他研究人员的结果，得出的结论是，每日膳食摄入量约为几十微克。对体液（包括牛奶、血液和排泄物）以及器官和组织的分析得出，人体钒总量约为100微克。在血液和尿液中，钒含量低于0.3纳克/克时无法检测到，而在肌肉、脂肪、骨骼、牙齿和其他组织中发现了低含量的钒。结合人造空气中颗粒物中钒的存在情况，讨论了膳食摄入量与肺部吸收之间的关系。牛奶和鸡蛋中极低的钒含量表明生长过程中对钒的需求极少。根据先前的结果以及钒可能的必需性，对这些发现进行了讨论。
