Air Quality Monitoring That Safeguards Health and Compliance
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a highly toxic substance that can cause severe respiratory illnesses, skin damage, and long-term health risks, including cancer. Found in welding, plating, painting, and other industrial processes, it poses one of the most serious air quality challenges for employers. GMG’s Hexavalent Chromium Air Quality Testing identifies airborne concentrations, supports compliance with OSHA’s strict permissible exposure limits, and provides clear strategies to control and reduce risk.

Why It Matters
Control Risks Before They Cause Harm or Penalties
Hexavalent chromium exposure can result in serious health effects such as asthma, lung cancer, and skin ulcers. OSHA regulates exposure tightly, with specific monitoring and control requirements. By identifying risks early and implementing effective controls, businesses can prevent illnesses, reduce costly claims, and avoid citations, while also demonstrating a strong commitment to worker health and safety.
