Introduction

• Naturallyoccurringelementfoundinrock,soilandgroundwater.• Commonlypresentintheenvironmentintwoforms:Cr(III)andCr(VI).

Chromium

• Cr(III):essentialelementforhumanandanimalnutrition.• Cr(VI):toxic,causingvarioustypesofcancerandDNAdamage.

Specialinterest

• Natural:OxidationofCr(III)toCr(VI)ontosoilsderivedfromultramaficsedimentsandophiolitic rocks.

• Anthropogenic:industrialwastesfrommanufacturingprocesses,suchasmetal’splating.
