Draft Concise International Chemical Assessment Document (CICAD) for Chromium VI
Opportunity to comment
The WHO/International Programme on Chemical Safety Draft CICAD for Chromium VI, also known as hexavalent chromium, is now available for comment.
This draft CICAD reflects the outcome of a consultative group which was convened to consider data on hexavalent chromium which had become available since the previous review by the CICAD Final Review Board. The document was revised to take account of the new data, and the conclusions of the consultative group have now been incorporated.
