Exposure and Controls Evaluating Exposure Occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium can occur from inhalation of dusts, mists, or fumes containing hexavalent chromium, or from eye or skin contact. The following references provide information on exposure limits and analytical methods used to evaluate hexavalent chromium exposure.
In the hexavalent state, chromium exists as oxo species such as CrO3 and CrO42-) that are strongly oxidizing (Cotton and Wilkinson, 1980). The CAS Registry numbers and the solubilities of a few important hexavalent chromium compounds are given in Table 1. In solution, hexavalent chromium exists as hydrochromate (HCrO4-), chromate (CrO 4 2-),
High concentration of hexavalent chromium can be assessed visually by its orange color. NOTE 2: For samples having low hexavalent chromium concentration, additional 3 mL to 5 mL aliquots of ultrasonicated sample solution can be loaded onto SPE cartridges (step 8.a). In this manner, the cartridge can be used to preconcentrate hexavalent chromium. c.

Regarding the disparity between requirements for chromium 6 for drinking water and wastewater, the EPA received a request and data supporting a change of holding time to 28 days for chromium-VI in wastewater, proposed the change in the Federal Register on April 6, 2004 (69 FR 18165), and approved the change on March 12, 2007 (72 FR 11199).
hexavalent chromium showed significant reductions in the numbers of small, medium, and large follicles. Ovaries from animals of this group showed large numbers of atretic follicles, and in some cases were completely hemolytic. Less severe effects were seen at lower chromium concentrations. A subgroup of
Other reports of exposure to chromium were not specific for chromium(VI) compounds, but provide general information on exposure to chromium and chromium compounds. Between 1977 and 1984, typical total chromium concentrations in ambient air in the United States were less than 0.01 μg/m 3 in rural areas and 0.01 to 0.03 μg/m 3 in urban areas.
Hexavalent chromium [also known as chrome 6 and Cr(VI)] is the most toxic form of the element chromium.
