Non-Specific Chromium Compounds, As Chromium VI Equivalent North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Air Quality Non-specific Chromium (VI) Compounds, as Chromium (VI) equivalent AAL Recommendation (1-11-91) NOTE: To include chromate and dichromate salts of calcium, strontium and zinc. This should read “Non-specific Chromium (VI) Compounds, as Chromium (VI) equivalent”, and should be assessed as chromium (VI). THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL January 11, 1991 Gladys VanPelt, PhD Chair, Air Quality Committee Environmental Management Commission Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611-7687 Dear Dr. VanPelt: Re: Acceptable Ambient Levels for Chromium Compounds In its meeting on November 15, 1990, the Scientific Advisory Board on Toxic Air Pollutants unanimously adopted a motion to recommend to the Environmental Management Commission that the following listed Acceptable Ambient Levels for chromium compounds be adopted by the Commission: COMPOUND EFFECT AAL (mg/m3) Bioavailable pigments human cancer 8.3 X 10-8 Chromate and dichromate salts of: Calcium Strontium Zinc Soluble chromate compounds nose ulceration 6.2 X 10-4 Chromic acid Chromate and dichromate salts of: North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Air Quality Potassium Sodium Ammonium Lithium chromate none reported none The recommended AAL's for chromate and dichromate salts of calcium and strontium are unchanged from those listed in part .1104(b) of the current regulation. The current regulation does not list chromate compounds of zinc. The new AAL recommended by the Board reflects the recognition of chromate salts of zinc as human carcinogens. The compounds listed above in the category "soluble chromate compounds" are suspect carcinogens; the AAL calculated for this classification of carcinogens is more lenient than that for their known effect in nose ulceration. Adoption of the more stringent AAL based on nose ulceration is recommended. No effect for exposure to chromate salts of lithium has been identified; the Board recommends that lithium salts be removed from the AAL list. Documentation of the Board's recommendations was prepared by Woodhall Stopford, MD. A copy of Dr. Stopford's written review is appended to this letter. Sincerely yours, Robert L. Harris, PhD Chair, Scientific Advisory Board on Toxic Air Pollutants Enclosure cc: Members, Scientific Advisory Board on Toxic Air Pollutants Members, EMC Air Quality Committee Director, DEM Director, Air Quality Section, DEM W. Stopford, MD November 11, 1990 North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Air Quality Chromium Carcinogenicity Detoxification of Chromate Ion Cr+3 passes through biologic membranes a rate 3 orders of magnitude less than Cr+6. Cr+3 is not mutagenic or carcinogenic. Intracellular reduction of Cr+6 is required in order to see a mutagenic effect. Reduction capacity in bronchial epithelial cell microsomes is similar between rodents and man. Reduction of Cr+6 prior to cellular uptake prevents carcinogenic risk. Reduction occurs in saliva (>10000 mcg reductive capacity/day (Petrilli & de Flora '87)), epithelial lining fluid, and alveolar macrophages (several thousand mcg reductive capacity/day (Hathaway '86, Petrilli, et al. '85)). These authors consider this detoxification to be a threshold for the mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of chromate ion. When reductive pathways are saturated, either by excessive dose or by microenvironmentally high levels as found in association with highly bioavailable chromate pigment particles (ones slightly soluble in water and soluble in weak acids), then a carcinogenic effect can be seen. Steinhoff, et al. (1986) demonstrated this effect: rats given 1.25 mg/wk soluble chromate i.t. divided in daily doses did not develop pulmonary tumors. When the same weekly dose was given once a week (presumably saturating the detoxification system), 20 of 80 animals developed tumors. NOEL for Soluble Chromates The ACGIH TLV (50 mcg/m3) for chromates is set to prevent nasal irritation with an LOEL noted of 60 mcg/m3. Lindberg, et al.('83), in a study published since the last action of ACGIH, investigated clinical effects in workers exposed to Cr+6 in the chrome plating industry. All individuals with nasal septal perforations or ulcers had exposures in excess of 20 mcg/m3 while working over plating bathes. Workers who did not work over the bathes had neither change. The exposures of these latter workers were always <2 mcg/m3. However.- samples were collected on fiberglass filters and stored prior to alkaline elution and analysis. Although the authors did not find any difference between this method and an impinger sampling technique, the NIOSH chromate analytical method, utilizing fiberglass filters as a collecting medium, has been shown to be associated with in excess of 90% reduction of chromate on the filter. Once reduced, aqueous washing will not effectively remove the chromium: analyses will be erroneously low.

    15A NCAC 02Q .0703 DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply: (1) "Actual rate of emissions" means: (a) for existing sources: (i) for toxic air pollutants with an annual averaging period, the average rate or rates at which the source emitted the pollutant during the two-year period preceding the date of the particular modification and that represents the normal operation of the source. If this period does not represent the normal operation, the Director may allow the use of a different, more representative, period. (ii) for toxic air pollutants with a 24-hour or one-hour averaging period, the maximum actual emission rate at which the source emitted the pollutant for the applicable averaging period during the two-year period preceding the date of the particular modification and that represents normal operation of the source. If this period does not represent normal operation, the Director may require or allow the use of a different, more representative, period. (b) for new or modified sources, the average rate or rates, determined for the applicable averaging periods, that the proposed source will emit the pollutant as determined by engineering evaluation. (2) "Applicable averaging period" means the averaging period for which an acceptable ambient limit has been established by the Commission in 15A NCAC 02D .1104, including the provisions in 15A NCAC 02D .1106(d). (3) "Bioavailable chromate pigments" means the group of chromium (VI) compounds consisting of calcium chromate (CAS No.13765-19-0), calcium dichromate (CAS No. 14307-33-6), strontium chromate (CAS No. 7789-06-2), strontium dichromate (CAS No.

  • K. K. Jatkar. INTRODUCTION
    PART III. THE DECOMPOSlTlON OF CALCIUM CHROMATE. By V. T. Athavale and S. K. K. Jatkar. INTRODUCTION. One of the paradoxes of the reactions in the chromate furnace is the fact that under the conditions recommended for obtaining a good yield of chromate, the chromate itself is not stable. The method consists of roasting, in an oxidising flame, the powdered mineral mixed with lime in the ratio 1 :1.6-1.9 for chro- mium to calcium, a higher ratio being used if the furnace is to be operated above 1100°C. Calcium chromate actually decomposes under these conditions. Nayer, Watson and Sudborough (This Jo~wnul, 1924, 7, 53, Part I of this series) found that calcium chromate decomposed more readily on addition of lime, a 33% decomposition being observed at 800°C. A systematic work on the decomposition of calcium chromate alone and in admixture with lime was carried out by Nargund and Watson (This Joztnzal, 1926, 9, 149. Part I1 of this series), who poidted out the complex nature of the system CaO-CrzOa-02 and tentatively suggested the existence of a large number of compounds of calcium oxide, chromic oxide and chromium trioxide in various proportions : (1) CrOa.CaO (Calcium chromate) : dissociation pressure 15 mm. at 950" : 44 mm. at 1000° ; decomposes to (6). (2) Cr03.3/2 CaO: quantity of CaO somewhat uncertain; dissociation pressure 188 mm. at 835': 358 mm. at 855'; decom- poses to (3). (3) 1/6 CraOs.CrOa.2 CaO formed by heating (2) : dissociation pressure at 910" about 270 mm. below which it decomposes to (4).
