Abstract
Chromium has been used in the industrialized world in many applications for more than a century. Chromium is a trace metallic element found in the Earth's crust, and when it is found in concentrated ore deposits it is principally as FeCr2O4 (chromite ore). In the environment, chromium is typically found in the trivalent and hexavalent states. These two oxidation states have differing toxicities and mobilities. Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is classified as a known human carcinogen (via inhalation) and is rather mobile, whereas trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] is comparatively benign (it is an essential dietary element for humans) and relatively immobile. This significant toxicological and geochemical disparity between the two valence states necessitates that environmental investigators be able to quantitatively distinguish between these two forms in solid environmental media. Several regulatory‐approved analytical techniques exist for the quantitative differentiation between Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in aqueous solut...
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
