AB  - Chromium  is  a  durable  metal  used  in  electroplating,  paint  pigments  (chrome  yellow),  primers  and  corrosion  inhibitors,  wood  preservatives,  textile  preservatives,  and  leather  tanning  agents.  Chromium  exposure  may  occur  by  inhalation,  ingestion,  or  skin  exposure.  Although  chromium  can  exist  in  a  variety  of  oxidation  states,  most  human  exposures  involve  one  of  two  types:  trivalent  (eg,  chromic  oxide,  chromic  sulfate)  or  hexavalent  (eg,  chromium  trioxide,  chromic  anhydride,  chromic  acid,  dichromate  salts).  Toxicity  is  associated  most  commonly  with  hexavalent  compounds;  however,  fatalities  have  occurred  after  ingestion  of  compounds  of  either  type,  and  chronic  skin  sensitivity  probably  is  related  to  the  trivalent  form.  Chromium  picolinate  is  a  trivalent  chromium  compound  often  promoted  as  a  body-building  agent.
