| CHROMIUM
VI Chromium is ubiquitous in the environment, occurring naturally in the air, water, rocks and soil. It is used in stainless steel, electroplating of chrome, dyes, leather tanning and wood preservatives. It occurs in several forms, depending on pH, the most common being chromium VI. Natural sources of water contain very low concentrations of chromium. It is a micronutrient. High doses of chromium VI have been associated with birth defects and cancer. Plants and animals do not bioaccumulate chromium; therefore, the potential impact of high chromium levels in the environment is acute toxicity to plants and animals. In animals and humans this toxicity may be expressed as skin lesions or rashes and kidney and liver damage. |
