Barium chromate is cytotoxic and genotoxic to human lung cells.

Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 42(4) , 274-8, (2003)

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) compounds are widely accepted as human lung carcinogens. However, there have been few investigations of the genotoxicity of Cr(VI) in human lung cells. Moreover, our knowledge of the effects of Cr(VI) in human lung cells is furthe...

Comparison of two particulate hexavalent chromium compounds: Barium chromate is more genotoxic than lead chromate in human lung cells.

Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 44(2) , 156-62, (2004)

Particulate hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] compounds are well-established human lung carcinogens. However, their carcinogenic mechanisms are poorly understood as most investigators have used soluble Cr(VI) compounds. Recent work from our laboratory has found th...
