Hexavalent chromium regulation

Hexavalent chromium is a toxic form of chromium that can cause serious health problems, including cancer, when people are exposed to it at work or in the environment. Regulations limit how much of this substance can be present in air, water, and soil to protect public health and the environment. These rules require industries to reduce emissions, monitor their levels, and implement safety measures. The goal is to minimize health risks by controlling exposure and ensuring safe handling practices, ultimately preventing illnesses related to hexavalent chromium.
