Occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium: biomarkers of genotoxicity in hum...
Afonso, Catarina MaiaThe hexavalent Chromium [Cr(VI)] is a human carcinogen, which is still authorized for use in several industrial settings because it has been difficult to replace. This was the reasoning to select it as a priority chemical by the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU, https://www.hbm4eu.eu/), which aims to bridge chemicals human exposure to their possible impact on health.
