ANSWER: Chromium
- BARC has developed a simple, user friendly, quick and cost effective kit for onsite determination of Cr(VI), which meets IS10500 as well as EPA criterion.
- It provides the much needed solution to measure the level of Chromium contamination in drinking water and tap water, lakes, rivers as well as ground water.
- The procedure involves adding a specified amount of specific reagents to the water sample and identifying the developed colour.
- The colour develops within 5 minutes and the distinction can be made with naked eye.
