In Reply to: How toxic is hexavalent chromium? posted by vacuous on January 26, 2023 at 18:23:15:
Trust me, I used to do some jewelry on a side hustle back in the 90s and needed a plater for nickel, gold and silver. The owner was likely 70, but he did look like the chemicals make have taken a toll though he was a strong dude and had been doing it for the jewelry manufacturers forever with a big shop, not that I'd want to do it.
Of course, no one reads the later paragraphs in the story.
The metal finishing industry has argued its emissions pale in comparison with others'.
California's 58 large chrome platers produced less than 1% of hexavalent chromium pollution, according to state data. The vast majority comes from burning fossil fuels. Cement production and lumber industries also emit more.
"We're less than 1% of emissions statewide, but we're the only industry facing a ban right now," Leiker said.
