The chromium toxicity greatly depends on its oxidation state and therefore accurate
determination of all Cr species is essential to understand its potential health risk. Numerous …

Chromium is a very important metal due to its use in various industries, such as dye,
pigments and stainless steel. Hexavalent chromium is a carcinogen. Its determination in …

The role and impact of chromium (Cr) on the environment and living organisms depends
primarily on its chemical form. High toxicity of hexavalent Cr is well documented, while …

Chromium is introduced into the environment by effluents in several industries. It is important
to control this element since it is both toxic and carcinogenic. As its toxicity depends on its …

The presented work proposes a novel analytical ICP-MS-based approach for the accurate
and precise chromium speciation in biological tissues. The determination of total Cr (VI) and …

Chromium holds a special position among living organisms because depending on its
species it can be either essential or toxic. Cr (VI) even at very low concentrations is harmful …

In recent years, the extensive use of chromium in industrial processes has led to the
promotion of several directives and recommendations by the European Union, that try to limit …

Chromium is a chemical element that occurs in two principal distinct forms: trivalent (Cr (III))
and hexavalent (Cr (VI)). As chromium toxicity depends on its oxidation state, the …

Urinary chromium speciation analysis can provide available information of the individual
exposure levels of Cr (VI) compounds. An analytical method based on ion-pair reversed …

Chromium occurs in all compartments of the environment. Its wide range of natural sources
determines the diversity of its forms of occurrence, which affect living organisms in a variety …
