Chrome plating set to be banned over cancer concern
- RetroTechie 3y agoFor those not bothering to read the article: This does not concern chrome plated objects, but the process of applying the chrome plating. Which involves environmental release of hexavalent chromium, very toxic & a known carcinogen. This release can be mitigated using other chemicals, which have environmental problems of their own. Hence the ban.
