Abstract
The effects of trivalent and hexavalent chromium compounds on rabbits were studied with a view toward investigating the toxic potentials of two different forms of chromium to which industrial workers or miners might be exposed. While both forms of chromium altered the levels of certain important chemical constituents of blood and serum and produced significant morphological changes in the liver, the hexavalent form induced a greater effect. The accumulation of the metal was also higher in animals exposed to chromium in oxidation state 6 than in those exposed to metal in state 3.
