• Metal pollution is an important issue worldwide, with various documented cases of metal toxicity in mining areas, industries, coal power plants and agriculture sector. Heavy metal polluted soils pose severe problems to plants, water resources, environment and nutrition. Among all non-essential metals, vanadium (V) is becoming a serious matter of discussion for the scientists who deals with heavy metals. Due to its mobility from soil to plants, it causes adverse effects to human beings. This review article illustrates briefly about V, its role and shows the progress about V research so far done globally in the light of the previous work which may assist in inter-disciplinary studies to evaluate the ecological importance of V toxicity. •Vanadium might be serious pollutant for soil and environment in future.•Vanadium also a factor of food contamination.•Vanadium might be a main cause of many diseases in human beings.•Vanadium affects the plants growth as well as impairs the metabolic system.•Vanadium interacts with nutrients and its bio-availability depends upon various factors.
