All findings and background on chromate formation
After more than four years of intensive research into the formation of carcinogenic and environmentally toxic chromium (VI) compounds (chromates, in particular calcium chromate (CaCrO4)) when insulation materials containing alkali and/or alkaline earth metals are used, the guide
It's Not Sulfur - Chromates in the Workplace
gives a complete overview of the history and the current state of knowledge, with scientific studies, practical examples, notes on occupational safety and environmental protection, and options for prevention (substitution), and also explains the health consequences of conscious or unconscious exposure.
