六價鉻

三氧化鉻是六價鉻的例子

六價鉻,又稱鉻(VI)Cr(VI),是任何含有氧化態+6的化合物。幾乎所有的鉻礦都是通過一種六價鉻化合物——重鉻酸鈉加工的。六價鉻是所有由鉻製成的材料的關鍵。1985年人們約生產了136,000公噸(150,000英噸)的六價鉻。[1]

六價鉻化合物包括三氧化鉻以及各種鉻酸鹽重鉻酸鹽。六價鉻用於紡織染料、木材防腐英語Wood preservation防蝕劑英語Corrosion inhibitor鉻酸鹽轉化塗層英語Chromate conversion coating以及各種小眾用途。六價鉻化合物的工業用途包括染料、油漆、油墨和塑料中的鉻酸鹽顏料,作為防腐劑添加到油漆、底漆和其他表面塗層中的鉻酸鹽以及電鍍到金屬部件上以提供裝飾或保護塗層的鉻酸。在進行如在不鏽鋼上進行焊接或熔化鉻金屬等「熱加工」時,也會形成六價鉻。在這些情況下的鉻最初不是六價的,但過程中涉及的高溫會使鉻被氧化,將鉻轉化為六價。[2]六價鉻也存在於飲用水和公共供水系統中。[3][4]

由於六價鉻的氧化性,它有毒且具會致癌國際癌症研究機構一類致癌物)。如果吸入六價鉻,會導致肺癌。此外,人們還觀察到接觸六價鉻與鼻子鼻竇癌症之間存在正相關。[5]許多職業的工人都會接觸到六價鉻,其中有問題的暴露發生在處理含有鉻酸鹽的產品的工人以及研磨和焊接不鏽鋼的工人中。[6]接觸六價鉻的工人患肺癌、哮喘或鼻上皮和皮膚損傷的風險增加。[2]
