TL;DR
It was found that the amount of chromium absorbed was related to the concentration of Cr6+ in solution and to time of exposure, and skin absorption rates during 1 h exposure were higher than expected.
Abstract
Absorption by skin of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions of sodium chromate in man was investigated. It was found that the amount of chromium absorbed was related to the concentration of Cr6+ in solution and to time of exposure. For 0.01, 0.1, and 0.2 molar solutions of chromium, skin absorption rates during 1 h exposure were 1.1, 6.5, and 10.0 micrograms/cm2/h respectively.
