Testing for Chrome VI

Managing the Challenge.

Hexavalent chromium compounds are highly toxic substances that can form as an unintended byproduct in industrial processes, particularly in environments like the cogeneration sector, where high temperatures and metallic surfaces are common.

The risks associated with Chrome 6, even at low concentrations, are significant. Workers can be exposed through inhaling fine dust, direct skin contact, or secondary means. Chrome 6 also poses serious environmental risks due to its high solubility and mobility, allowing it to spread through contaminated water into soil and groundwater.

Given these risks, reliable detection and effective management of Chrome 6 is crucial for supporting workplace safety and meeting regulatory compliance.

We provide several solutions for the safe management of Chrome 6. We take a proactive approach, supporting our customers with the most appropriate solutions to assist in meeting regulatory compliance.
