The emulsion liquid membrane technique was used for the extraction of hexavalent chromium ions from aqueous solution of waste sodium dichromate recovered from the pharmaceutical industry wastewater. The liquid membrane used was composed of kerosene oil as the solvent, Span-80
Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA, 25(1), 1-6 (2010-07-06)
Chromium (Cr) is considered to be a risk factor to the cardiovascular effects of fine particulate matter components to PM2.5 from traffic in highway patrol officers. RKIP (raf kinase inhibitor protein) is a physiological inhibitor of GRK-2 (G-protein-coupled receptor kinase
Changes in the components of the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signalling pathway were investigated in human A549 lung carcinoma cells treated with sodium dichromate. Sodium dichromate (100 microM, 0-6h) failed to activate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) as determined by
A mixed-culture of bacteria collected from a wastewater treatment plant in Brits, North-West Province (South Africa) biocatalytically reduced Cr(VI) at much higher concentrations than previously observed in cultures isolated in North America. Cr(VI) reduction rate up to 8 times higher
Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP, 64(1), 68-76 (2012-06-19)
In vitro studies on hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] indicate that reduced forms of this metal can interact with DNA and cause mutations. Recently, Cr(VI) was shown to induce intestinal tumors in mice; however, Cr(VI) elicited redox changes, cytotoxicity and hyperplasia -
