Abstract

Chromium appears at the hydrosphere due to the tannery industry. In these aquatic systems, CrIII and CrVI are the species found, both of them with opposites effects in human health. Cr VI is a powerful carcinogen, so development of
new methods for the preconcentration, speciation and quantification of these species is essential for water health.
