Abstract
Experiments on frog tadpoles exposed to chromium (VI) revealed a marked teratogenic effect of the element. The toxicity of chromium also led to abnormal behavioral responses and death. The results of this study support our earlier findings with Annelids that the permitted levels of chromium in irrigation waters are harmful to terrestrial and aquatic organisms.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
