As chromium compounds were used in dyes and paints and the tanning of leather, these compounds are often found in soil and groundwater at abandoned industrial sites, now needing environmental cleanup and remediation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bioinorganic Chemistry of Chromium: From Biochemistry to Environmental Toxicology\u003c\/i\u003e takes a critical look at what the biochemical data indicate about chromium's role in the body and the biological mechanisms of its  toxicology.
