Based on the description in EU-RAR No.53 (2005) of the effects on human health: Exposure to highly water-soluble Cr (VI) solution causes damage to the eyes; A number of case reports indicate corneal/conjunctival inflammation and severe symptoms such as corneal erosion and ulceration, with the intensity of the symptoms increasing at lower pH and higher temperatures; Accidental exposure causes corneal edema and opacity; Single and repeated exposure causes severe, persistnet damage to the eyes and skin associated with the formation of ulcers. Strontium chromate is classified into Category 1, according to the classification of Chrome (VI) compounds into the same category. | |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Category 1 | Danger | H334: May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled |
P304+P341: IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P342+P311: If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.

Chrome is classified into "Respiratory Sensitizing Substance" by the ad hoc committee of the Japanese Society of Occupational Allergy, and "Respiratory Sensitizing Substance: Group 2"* by the Japan Society for Occupational Health. These classifications, though not specifying strontium chromate, seem to include chromium compounds. Strontium chromate, which is a chromium compound, should thus cause respiratory sensitization. * There is a provision to the effect that "the category refers to the substance concerned and its compounds, but does not identify all substances causing respiratory/skin sensitization. | |
4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1 | Warning | H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |

Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category K (as hexavalent chromium (VI) compounds) by NTP (2005), Category A1 (as insoluble Cr Vi compounds) by ACGIH (2001), Category A (as Chromium (VI)) by EPA (1998), Group 1 (as chromium (VI)) by IARC (1990). | |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the reproductive toxicity caused of Cr (VI), refer to potassium dichromate (CAS: 7778-50-9) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Based on the description in ATSDR (2004): "The only chemical form of stable strontium that is very harmful by inhalation is strontium chromate, but this is because of toxic chromium and not strontium itself." The toxicity of strontium chromate could thus be attributed to hexavalent chromium, but test data on strontium chromate are not available. The acute toxicity of hexavalent chromium compounds manifests as "cough, yellow-green phlegm, dyspnea, pulmonary congestion, vomiting (yellow-green mucus), gastralgia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hepatic damage, renal damage" (CERI Hazard Data 97-18 (1998)). Refer to the GHS classification result of potassium dichromate (ID 0262, CAS 7778-50-09). |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Based on the description in ATSDR (2004): "The only chemical form of stable strontium that is very harmful by inhalation is strontium chromate, but this is because of toxic chromium and not strontium itself." The toxicity of strontium chromate could thus be attributed to hexavalent chromium, but test data on strontium chromate are not available. The chronic toxicity of hexavalent chromium compounds manifests as "nasal mucosa, inflammation and ulcers in the pharynx and larynx, nasal septum perforation" (CERI Hazard Data 97-18 (1998)). Refer to the GHS classification result of potassium dichromate (ID 0262, CAS 7778-50-09). |
