    Chromic acid is toxic and can cause strong irritation of skin and mucous membranes, leading to conditions like dermatitis, chrome ulcers, and conjunctivitis. Workers should use good ventilation, apply petroleum to their nose before exposure, and receive chest x-rays and sputum tests every few months to monitor for cancers. For emergencies, irrigate eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help. Wash contaminated skin with water and call a doctor. Treat skin burns with antihistamines and cortisone cream, and ulcers with a calcium disodium ointment. Use water to fight fires involving chromic acid.
