Chromium in US household bleach.
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.
