Critical review highlights chromium pollution in the environment and explores new bioremediation strategies.

This review aims to detail the environmental impact of chromium and evaluate recent bioremediation techniques.
Overview of chromium's environmental chemistry across different ecosystems
Analysis of bioremediation technologies involving fungi, bacteria, and algae
Evaluation of new molecular and nanotech approaches in improving chromium remediation efficiency
Hexavalent chromium is identified as toxic and carcinogenic, posing significant health risks.
Recent bioremediation methods can effectively convert toxic Cr(VI) to less harmful Cr(III) through microbial processes.
Advanced technologies such as nanotech have been shown to enhance the effectiveness of chromium remediation efforts.
