| Abstract | The role and impact of chromium (Cr) on the environment and living organisms depends primarily on its chemical form. High toxicity of hexavalent Cr is well documented, while trivalent Cr is an essential micronutrient. In the last decades numerous analytical procedures have been developed for the determination of Cr(VI) in different sample matrices. To obtain reliable speciation data it is important to preserve species integrity during the sample storage, pre-treatment, extraction and the determination of Cr species. Among different speciation methods combination of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with atomic spectrometry techniques provides comprehensive information on the presence of Cr species in a variety of sample matrices, while hyphenation of HPLC to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) represents the most powerful and the most sensitive analytical tool for Cr speciation. Precise isotope ratio measurement enables the application of isotope dilution techniques for the quantification of trace amounts of individual Cr species in various environmental and biological samples. Furthermore, enriched stable isotopes can be introduced as tracers to investigations on the fate and role of Cr in the environment and living organisms or to monitor the species transformation during the analytical procedure. Despite general understanding of Cr chemistry, which is closely related to its trivalent and hexavalent oxidation states and knowledge on conditions that may influence species transformation, there are still open questions that should be addressed to obtain reliable speciation analysis data. So, this article is focused mostly to overview recent developments in methodological approaches for Cr speciation in different sample matrices by applying HPLC and spectrometric techniques. Different procedures for preparation of isotopically enriched Cr spike solutions are critically evaluated. The advantages of their use as tracers to follow and account for species transformation during sample preparation and for the quantification of Cr species by HPLC-ID-ICP-MS are discussed. The importance of the use of adequate analytical methodologies and speciation analysis in the determination of Cr(VI) is highlighted in order to avoid inadequate conclusions to be made based on wrongly applied analytical methodologies. An increasing need to develop speciation procedures for selective determination of Cr(III) species is also emphasized. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
