| Hazards summary | CrVI compounds are irritants, sensitizers, and may be corrosive to the skin. CrVI compounds are respiratory tract irritants and may cause pulmonary sensitization. CrVI may cause acute tubular necrosis and liver injury. [ATSDR Case Studies] May cause fire in contact with combustible materialA corrosive substance that can cause injury to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tractMay cause skin sensitization[MSDSonline] See Chromium and linked occupational diseases. |
| Hazard Classes and Categories | Ox. Sol. 2 (94.4%)Ox. Sol. 2 (88.4%) |
| Exposure control and personal protection | Biological Exposure Indices (BEI) [ACGIH] - For chromium (VI), water-soluble fume: Total Cr in urine = 10 ug/L (increase during shift) or 25 ug/L (end of shift at end of workweek) |
| Minimum Risk Level | Intermediate Oral: 0.005 mg/kg/day (L134) Chronic Oral: 0.001 mg/kg/day (L134) |
| Threshold Limit Values (TLV) | 0.0002 [mg/m3], as Cr(VI), inhalable particulate matter0.0005 [mg/m3], as Cr(VI), inhalable particulate matter |
| Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) | 0.005 [mg/m3], as Cr(VI) |
| Treatment | There is no know antidote for chromium poisoning. Exposure is usually handled with symptomatic treatment. (L16) |
| Health effects | Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen. Chronic inhalation especially has been linked to lung cancer. Hexavalent chromium has also been know to cause reproductive and developmental defects. (A12) |
Applications & Uses
Uses
Cesium chromate is used to produce cesium vapor by reaction with silicon, boron, or titanium, which is used in the final stages of creating vacuum tubes. It is used in the production of photo-tubes.
