Reflections on hexavalent chromium: health hazards of an industrial heavyweight.
Chromium has been used commercially in the United States for more than 100 years in metal alloys and other compounds, as a pigment, and in the tanning and metal plating industries, and many studies have looked at its effects in terms of occupational health. But, although scientists know that Cr(VI) is a human carcinogen and that it can cause other deleterious health effects including kidney and...
متن کاملChromium and Chromium Compounds
Chromium is present in the environment in several different forms. The most common forms are chromium(0), chromium(III) (or trivalent chromium) and chromium(VI) (or hexavalent chromium). Chromium(III) occurs naturally in the environment and is an essential nutrient that helps the human body utilize sugar, protein and fat. Chromium(VI) and chromium(0) are generally produced by industrial process...
متن کاملChromium Compounds
Chromium occurs in the environment primarily in two valence states, trivalent chromium (Cr III) and hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). Exposure may occur from natural or industrial sources of chromium. Chromium III is much less toxic than chromium (VI). The respiratory tract is also the major target organ for chromium (III) toxicity, similar to chromium (VI). Chromium (III) is an essential element in...
متن کاملChromium (vi) Compounds
Chromium (VI), also known as hexavalent chromium, is the second most stable oxidation state of chromium. Rarely occurring naturally, most chromium (VI) compounds are manufactured (products or by-products). Chromium (VI) can be reduced to the more stable chromium (III) in the presence of reducing agents (e.g. iron) or oxidizable organic matter (OSHA, 2006). Selected chemical and physical propert...
