Abstract: The extractable content of chromium in various types of soils and sludges from city water treatment using aqua regia and 2 mol dm^-3 HNO₃ was determined. The study of the interferences of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Co, and Ni in the chromium determination in these matrices and the effect of releasing agents NH₄Cl, Na₂SO₄, La(NO₃)₃, 8-hydroxyquinoline in the presence of the studied cations was performed. From all the compounds tested as releasing agents in air-acetylene flame, the 10 g dm^-3 NH₄Cl, 10 g dm^-3 8-hydroxyquinoline, and 10 g dm^-3 Na₂SO₄ gave the best results.
