What happens to chromium when it enters the environment?
• Chromium can be found in air, soil, and water after release from the manufacture, use, and disposal of chromium-based products, and during the manufacturing process. • Chromium does not usually remain in the atmosphere, but is deposited into the soil and water. • Chromium can easily change from one form to another in water and soil, depending on the conditions present. • Fish do not accumulate much chromium in their bodies from water.
