Breathing in chromium (VI) for a short period of time causes irritation of the airways, cough and chest pain. If swallowed, it can cause abdominal pain, diarrhoea and heart failure, as well as damaging the gut, liver and kidneys and even death. If skin is in contact with chromium, dermatitis (a rash caused by the skin reacting to a substance it comes into contact with) or skin ulcers may develop if left untreated, and chromic acid can cause burns. Breathing in chromium (III) compounds for a long time causes swelling of the airways and lungs.
