Hexavalent chromium is a strong oxidizing agent and may react with organic matter or other reducing agents to form trivalent chromium. The trivalent chromium will eventually be precipitated as Cr2O3·xH2O. Therefore, in surface water rich in organic content, hexavalent chromium will exhibit a much shorter lifetime (Callahan et al., 1979).
