Chromium is a naturally occurring element that can be found in rocks, soil, and groundwater. It exists in two forms: trivalent chromium (Cr III) and hexavalent chromium (Cr VI).

The presence of hexavalent chromium in drinking water can be a health concern, as it has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and other adverse health effects.

The webpage provides information on the sources of chromium in drinking water, the health effects of chromium exposure, and the treatment options for reducing chromium levels in drinking water.
