Chromium (VI) Analysis in Emission and Ambient Air

It is important to determine the concentration, composition and sources of particulate matter in the atmosphere. Inhalation of these particles by living creatures can cause cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and therefore serious health problems.

Chromium (Cr) has two dominant oxidation states in the atmosphere.
- +3, an essential nutrient in low doses.
- +6, a carcinogen with high toxicity.

Chromium (Cr) in the air can be detected with different techniques.
- V-VIS spectroscopy,
- Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry,
- Atomic absorption spectroscopy
- X-ray techniques

Emission and environment Inhalation of Chromium (Cr) VI in air can cause cancer, nasal damage, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, dermatitis and skin allergies. For this reason, Chromium (Cr) VI should be measured in Emission and Ambient Air.
