Beneficial and adverse effects of dam construction in canal tannery wastewater effluent with a high content of chromium in Hazaribagh, Bangladesh

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated for the first time not only a merit of decreased Cr(III) pollution but also a demerit of increased Cr(VI) pollution in stagnant water derived from blockage construction in natural environments. This bitter lesson obtained by the enclosure of Cr(III)-polluted water is globally applicable for water pollution of Cr(III), which is used in various industries including the leather industry.PMID:38154667 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.141047
