Observed increases in neutrophils and no change in macrophages 24 hr after zinc chromate exposure are also consistent with findings in rats exposed to potassium chromate and barium chromate (Cohen et al.

Lung inflammation, injury, and proliferative response after repetitive particulate hexavalent chromium exposure

One study investigating both soluble and particulate Cr(VI) compounds found that both potassium chromate (soluble) and barium chromate (particulate) induced mutations in transgenic V79 cells containing the bacterial gpt reporter gene.

These observations may reflect real differences between the two types of chromate or alternatively may be related to exposure time as soluble chromate treatment was only for 2 h while the barium chromate treatment was for 24 h (32).

Carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium
