The level and distribution of chromium (as total chromium and CrVI) and other trace elements were investigated from surface and groundwater samples collected over three periods (n = 155) from Mersin (Turkey) in terms of their origins and potential health risk. The maximum total chromium is 41 µg/L and some of the samples have CrVI contents above 5 µg/L, which is the maximum permissible level of CrVI under Italian regulations. The dominant water facies are Ca–HCO₃ and Mg–HCO₃ types based on the Piper diagram. The Ca–HCO₃ type waters originate mainly from interaction with carbonate rocks, and the Mg–HCO₃ type waters originate from serpentinite dissolution. Chromium contents are higher in Mg–HCO₃ water types and the highest concentrations are found in samples from ophiolitic rocks and industrial areas. The As, Fe, Pb, Al, and Ni contents of some samples are above the EU limits in industrial areas.

从三个阶段（n = 155）从梅​​尔辛（土耳其）收集的地表和地下水样品中，研究了铬（以总铬和CrVI的含量）和其他微量元素的含量和分布，分析了它们的来源和潜在的健康风险。最大总铬含量为41 µg / L，某些样品中的CrVI含量高于5 µg / L，这是意大利法规规定的最大CrVI含量。根据Piper图，主要的水相为Ca–HCO ₃和Mg–HCO ₃类型。Ca–HCO ₃型水主要源自与碳酸盐岩的相互作用，而Mg–HCO ₃型水源自蛇纹石的溶解。Mg–HCO _3中的铬含量较高从卵石岩和工业区的样品中发现了水的类型和最高浓度。一些样品中的砷，铁，铅，铝和镍的含量超过了工业领域的欧盟限值。
