To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
In contrast to chromium(VI) compounds, chromium(III) compounds are not carcinogenic in animal experiments. Only slight absorption (< 1 %) via gastrointestinal tract in comparison with hexavalent chromium. The greater, nonabsorbed part of chromium(III) is eliminated with the faeces.
Other dangerous properties can not be excluded.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
