chromium(VI) assessment

Chromium(VI), also known as hexavalent chromium, is a toxic form of the metal chromium that can pose health and environmental risks. Assessment involves testing water, soil, or air samples to detect its presence and concentration. Regulatory agencies set safety limits, and measurements are compared against these standards to determine if contamination is a concern. The process ensures that exposure levels are monitored and managed effectively, helping protect public health and the environment from chromium(VI)'s harmful effects.
