Chromium
What is Chromium?
Chromium is found naturally in rocks, plants, soil and volcanic dust, humans and animals, and commonly occurs in two forms: Chromium-3 and Chromium-6. Chromium-3 is an essential human dietary element, while Chromium-6 is more toxic and poses potential health risks. Chromium-6 has been observed being released to the environment by leakage, poor storage, or inadequate industrial waste disposal practices.
What are the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for Chromium?
The United States Environmental Protection Agency sets a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for contaminants in public drinking water. The MCL is the maximum concentration that is allowed for public water supplies. The United States Environmental Protection Agency states the maximum contaminant level for Chromium allowed in drinking water is 0.1 mg/L or 100 parts per billion (ppb).
What are the potential health effects from long-term exposure above the MCL?
Those using drinking water sources containing total chromium (chromium-3 and chromium-6) in excess could experience allergic dermatitis after long-term exposure.
What treatment methods have been proven to be effective for removal or inactivation?
Reverse osmosis filtration has been proven most effective at removing Chromium.
