title: Chromium in US household bleach.
abstract: Spectrophotometric analysis for chromium in hypochlorite bleach sampled at random throughout the USA shows that the highest level found in those products is of the order of 0.1 ppm (2/20). This probably does not represent a significant risk factor for chromate sensitization of the consumer population.
