Notes:

OSHA's chromium (VI) standard applies to all occupational exposures to any chromium species with a valence of positive six, regardless of form or compound, including chromates and chromic acid. See 29 CFR 1910.1026, Chromium (VI). See LEAD for information regarding lead exposure.

Notes:

CARCINOGEN (Ca): REDUCE EXPOSURE TO LOWEST FEASIBLE CONCENTRATION. See Appendix A, NIOSH Potential Occupational Carcinogens and Appendix C, Supplementary Exposure Limits.
