Breathing vanadium-rich aerosols has unknown but potentially adverse health impacts, according to the researchers, who note that the human impacts on the global vanadium cycle parallel impacts on the global cycles for lead and mercury. Excessive V in air and water has potential, but poorly documented, consequences for human health.

In 1894, a German chemist named Herman Frasch plotted a process of tapping a sulfur-containing mineral deposit by pumping it with superheated water. The Frasch process can be tremendously damaging to the surrounding environment and mineworkers’ health. The sulfur will melt and bubble up to the surface.

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. In the case of moving water, a turbine harvests the energy in the flow to generate hydroelectricity.

Improper disposal poses risks such as soil and water contamination. Spent lithium-ion batteries contain hazardous materials like lead, cadmium, and mercury, which, if not properly disposed of, can leach into soil and water, causing significant ecological harm. Recycling reduces the need for new material extraction.
