What is Hexavalent Chromium and Why is it a Problem?
According to OSHA, hexavalent chromium is one of the valence states (+6) of the element chromium. It is often produced in industrial processes and added to alloy steel to increase hardenability and corrosion resistance. However, it is known to cause cancer and other issues associated with the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, skin and eyes.
Welding and thermal spraying high chrome alloys produces very small particulate, smaller than one micron in diameter and uniform in size, making collection a challenge. NIOSH considers all hex chrome compounds to be occupational carcinogens.
