Abstract Description of laboratory analyses to determine the soluble Cr(VI) content of cements from different sources and of different grades, and the possibility of elimination Cr(VI) - harmful to the skin - by Fe(II) salts. Cr(VI) content was between 0.4 and 20ppm. Addition of 0.1-0.5% ferrous(II) sulfate greatly reduced or sometimes eliminated soluble Cr(VI). Review of the results and of practical possibilities of this method.
