Chromium can be present in some industrial wastewaters , emanating from plating, tanning and coating industries. Historically, chromium has also been used as a corrosion inhibitor.

Present as trivalent chromium (III) or the more toxic hexavalent Cr (VI), stringent consents for discharges into rivers or streams makes routine testing of outflows essential.

Kittiwake chromium test kits enable rapid on-site analysis of both forms of chromium in wastewater. The Kittiwake Smart II Photometer is particularly recommended for effective and accurate chromium measurement.

The table below gives a chart of recommended tests.
