Recommendation from the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits: Lead Chromate

SCOEL has already issued Summary Documents on both Lead and Lead Compounds (SCOEL/SUM 83) and Hexavalent Chromium Compounds (SCOEL/SUM 86), to which reference is made. On this basis, the present Summary Document on Lead Chromate is focussed on experimental data on the genotoxicity of lead chromate and on the issue of bioavailibility. Specific data on lead chromate published after the latest IARC documentation in 1990 are described in more detail.
