Talk:Chromium toxicity

Merger proposal
I suggest that Hexavalent chromium be merged into this article because it is mostly about the toxicity of hexavalent chromium and accidental poisoning incidents. I will not begin the merge until at least two Wikipedians comment for it. ---Littleb2009


 * Oppose Hexavalent chromium is a class of compounds and is notable in its own right. Rather than merge, the article could be expanded regarding its standard uses. --- Avatar317 (talk) 23:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Avatar317. The two are different animals.  Better to have two smaller articles that one that is trying to force combine two topics.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 01:21, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Okay. I will not do the merge. The merge proposal will be deleted unless someone objects before the end of May 2021. littleb2009 (talk page) 23:36, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Some sources that can attribute to the article

 * Source 1: Christoforidou, E. Et al. Oral ingestion of hexavalent chromium through drinking water and cancer mortality in an industrial area of Greece - An ecological study
 * This study shows the effect of Hexavalent Chromium being consumed, mainly orally.
 * Source 2: Cohen, Y. Et al. A Critical Assessment of Chromium in the Environment.
 * This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability. Discusses the topic of chromium through environmental fate and transport, analytical chemistry, uptake and metabolism, toxicology, and human epidemiology circumstance.
 * Source 3: CDC What Are the Physiologic Effects of Chromium Exposure?
 * This source comes from the CDC which doesn't give specific authors, however gives good information on the health affects of chromium toxicity.
