When it comes to workplace safety and industrial health, knowledge is power. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)), a toxic compound commonly found in industrial settings, demands our attention. Hexavalent Chromium health effects are explained in this article. and The sources of contamination in tap water with Hexavalent Chromium.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Chromium’s Elemental Identity<\/strong><\/u><\/u><\/h2>\n

Chromium, represented by the chemical symbol Cr, is ubiquitous in our environment, found in rocks, soil, water, plants, and animals. It’s essential to understand that chromium exists in various oxidation states, which determine its toxicity. The two primary forms of chromium we encounter are trivalent chromium (chromium III) and hexavalent chromium (chromium VI).<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
