![]() ![]() Hexavalent compounds are more toxic than the trivalent.Ĭhromium and certain chromium compounds: NTP: K - Known to be carcinogenic IARC: Not identified as carcinogenic Chromic acid and its salts have a corrosive action on the skin and mucous membranes. Chromate salts are suspected human carcinogens. ![]() Further, within each valency group, toxicity varies according to solubility. May cause irritation to lungs.Ĭhromium Compounds: The physiological responses to chromium and its compounds varies widely because of the different toxicological potentials associated with each of the 3 chromium valencies (2+, 3+, 6+). Symptoms of Exposure: May cause irritation to eyes and abraded skin. Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eyes. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Chromium oxides. Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents. Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Reactivity: No specific test data available.Ĭhemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not determined Relative Density (Specific Gravity): No data Skin Protection: Wear impermeable gloves, protective work clothing as necessary. Respiratory Protection: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator when dusts or fumes are present. Individual Protection Measures, Such as Personal Protective Equipment: Do not blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. Use good housekeeping and sanitation practices. See section 10 for more information on incompatible materials.Ĩ EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIONĬhromium (II) Oxide No exposure limit established No exposure limit establishedĬhromium (II) compounds (as Cr) 0.5 mg/m3 No exposure limit establishedĪppropriate Engineering Controls: Whenever possible the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls is the preferred method of controlling exposure to airborne dust and fume to meet established occupational exposure limits. ![]() Store material tightly sealed in properly labeled containers. See section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.Ĭonditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry area. Provide adequate ventilation if dusts are created. Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle in an enclosed, controlled process. Do not allow to enter drains or to be released to the environment. Place in properly labeled closed containers.Įnvironmental Precautions: Do not flush to sewer, stream, or other bodies of water. Scoop or vacuum up using a vacuum system equipped with a HEPA filter. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Avoid raising dust. Isolate spill area and provide ventilation. Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment specified in section 8. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Full face, self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Specific Hazards Arising from the Material: May emit toxic fumes under fire conditions. ![]() Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: No information available. Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment: No other relevant information available.Įxtinguishing Media: Use suitable extinguishing agent for surrounding materials and type of fire. Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed: May cause irritation. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.ĮYES: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, including under upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing, brush material off skin, wash affected area with soap and water. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, keep warm and quiet, give oxygen if breathing is difficult. General Measures: Remove patient from area of exposure.
