can chromium 6 be absorbed through the skin
Skin Irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure of hexavalent chromium to the skin or eyes can cause irritations, such as discolorations and rashes. Symptoms will progressively get worse with repeated exposure. A report published in the âArchives of Toxicologyâ in 1981 demonstrated the ability of hexavalent chromium to be absorbed through the skin. Prolonged exposure simply allowed hexavalent chromium to accumulate in cells and move to the blood stream to be taken throughout the body.
