It would appear our irrate lady in the article Ringer posted left out the conclusion to the article she made available to everyone at the Coniston meeting:

This is the link to the comment our irrate lady made:

This is her comment again:
"In Finland, wild lingonberries were found to be contaminated with chromium and other heavy metals by air emissions from a chromium mine and ferrochrome and stainless steel plant," a case study mentioned (it is available online at tinyurl.com/yb3bzxok). "Concentrations were higher within a distance of about 3 km from the facilities. Nickel, vanadium and lead were associated with the chromium processing plant while cadmium was linked to the mine."
She admits she is no expert, but Kearney says there are a lot of red flags causing her concern.
This is the conclusion to the article that she should have considered mentioning:
Conclusion
This review focused on broad potential health
effects from chromite mining and processing
including chromium sensitization, the
environmental fate and transport of chromium
including exposure pathways to humans, and
mitigation strategies to prevent harmful
exposures. While health and safety risks are
associated with exposures to chromium (VI) and
many other hazards in the mining and metal
processing industries, considerable knowledge
and experience exist from which to draw
health-protective strategies and techniques. A
comprehensive health and environmental
impact assessment prior to the initiation of any
chromite mining and processing can review
discharges to the environment and potential
pathways of exposure for workers and
members of the public. Specific mitigation and
control strategies can be then employed to
ensure that objectives related to protection of
human health and the environment are met.
