“…form (Baes and Mesmer 1986). This form of chromium is highly mobile in aquatic systems (Richard and Bourg 1991) and acutely toxic (Paschin et al 1983), teratogenic (Abbasi and Soni 1984), and carcinogenic (On0 1988). In order to assess the environmental impact of chromium in tank leachates that have been released to the vadose zone, a quantitative knowledge of chromium speciation is essential.…”

“…Abbasi and Soni (1984) noted teratogenic effects of chromium levels of 2 ppm. Porter and Hakanson (1976) determined the lethal concentration of copper in Bufo boreas Baird and Girard to be 3.7 ppm, in combination with lowered pH, a condition that he reported occurred as a result of mine drainage.…”

This paper reviews the factors involved in the decline, both inter-and intra-specific, of Australian frogs from both disturbed and apparently pristine habitats. Despite a lacl< of published accounts and an absence of long term population studies, a variety of causes were identified. Habitat changes, owing to human influences, are lowering frog numbers and species diversity. Other factors involved include heavy metals, pesticides, salinity, temperature, disease, competition from introduced species and human collection. The complex interactions and synergistic effects of these factors on frogs have yet to be fully elucidated. However, since frogs are sensitive to environmental influences at all stages of their life cycle, population studies would provide base line data to identify, at an early stage, the impact of human influence.

“…In tadpoles of the frog Rana tigrina, potassium dichromate at a level of 700 pg chromium1L produced numerous developmental abnormalities, including tail-fin curvation and reduction, loss of pigmentation, broadening of the eyes, and protusion of the digestive tract through the ventral side of the body (Abbasi and Soni 1984). Fujihara et al (1973) noted that as little as 10-100 pg Cr(III)/L in loam soils significantly affected the populations of soil microorganisms and decreased the evolution of carbon dioxide.…”

The widening use of chromium and its compounds by local industries has led to a growing concern about the effects of chromium contamination on the Canadian environment. This report summarizes the data on Canadian sources and the concentrations of chromium in air, water, sediments, soil, terrestrial wildlife and aquatic biota. It reviews what little is currently known about the cycling of chromium in Canadian ecoystems, and the need for measuring Cr(II1) and Cr(V1) rather than total Cr in the environmental media is emphasized. The potential effects of elevated levels of chromium on plants, soil microorganisms, wildlife, and aquatic biota are discussed. Th6 human health effects are not covered. The conclusion is reached that chromium pollution has become a threat to Canadian ecosystems, especially at the local scale where the ambient chromium concentrations in some surface waters, sediments, and soils are now close to or above the toxicity threshold for a number of the more sensistive organisms.
