Description / Abstract:
This standard of acceptable concentrations applies to all
occupational environments where dust or mist of chromic acid or
other derivatives of hexavalent chromium may be present in the
atmosphere.
This standard does not apply to dust or fumes of metallic
chromium, or chromium compounds in which the chromium is solely in
the divalent or trivalent state.
Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to
provide useful information for the control of exposures to chromic
acid and other hexavalent chromates, for the evaluation of
exposures to these materials, and for assistance in the design and
operation of equipment for protection of the health of exposed
workers.
