Description
Zinc chromate is an exogenous inorganic compound with the formula CrH6O4Zn and an average molecular weight of 187.45 g/mol. It exists as a solid at room temperature and is classified as a mixed metal/non-metal compound. Zinc chromate belongs to the transition metal hydroxides, a subclass of transition metal oxoanionic compounds within the inorganic compounds. This compound is used as a pigment known as Yellow 36 or Zinc Yellow and serves as a corrosion resisting agent. Additionally, it is used in plastics including Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Low-Density Polyethylene, and High-Density Polyethylene. The compound is found in or released from 23 recorded sources. These include household cleaning and consumer products such as bleaching agents; food, food processing and cookware, specifically processing fish and fermentation processes for beer; building and construction materials like ceilings, tents or canopies, and fencing, stairs and ramps; and electrical and electronic equipment, including antennas, amplifiers, coils, communication cables or conductors, and auxiliary devices. Zinc chromate interacts with several protein targets. It may modify metal regulatory transcription factor 1, inhibiting zinc-induced metallothionein transcription. It can induce carcinogenesis by activating mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3), which increases peroxide levels and overstimulates cellular regulatory pathways. Furthermore, chromium can cause transcriptional repression by cross-linking histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1)-DNA methyltransferase 1 complexes to CYP1A1 promoter chromatin. Trivalent chromium may also form complexes with proteins, DNA, and peptides, leading to chromium-DNA adducts, DNA strand breaks, chromosomal aberrations, DNA-protein crosslinks, DNA-DNA interstrand crosslinks, and alterations in cellular signaling pathways. Finally, unbalanced levels of zinc and copper binding to superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] (SOD1) has been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Toxicity Profile
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Toxicity / Toxin ClassNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityAnaemia results from the excessive absorption of zinc suppressing copper and iron absorption, most likely through competitive binding of intestinal mucosal cells. Unbalanced levels of copper and zinc binding to Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase has been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Stomach acid dissolves metallic zinc to give corrosive zinc chloride, which can cause damage to the stomach lining. Metal fume fever is thought to be an immune response to inhaled zinc. Hexavalent chromium's carcinogenic effects are caused by its metabolites, pentavalent and trivalent chromium. The DNA damage may be caused by hydroxyl radicals produced during reoxidation of pentavalent chromium by hydrogen peroxide molecules present in the cell. Trivalent chromium may also form complexes with peptides, proteins, and DNA, resulting in DNA-protein crosslinks, DNA strand breaks, DNA-DNA interstrand crosslinks, chromium-DNA adducts, chromosomal aberrations and alterations in cellular signaling pathways. It has been shown to induce carcinogenesis by overstimulating cellular regulatory pathways and increasing peroxide levels by activating certain mitogen-activated protein kinases. It can also cause transcriptional repression by cross-linking histone deacetylase 1-DNA methyltransferase 1 complexes to CYP1A1 promoter chromatin, inhibiting histone modification. Chromium may increase its own toxicity by modifying metal regulatory transcription factor 1, causing the inhibition of zinc-induced metallothionein transcription. (1, 7, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 5)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)1, carcinogenic to humans. (13)
Minimum Risk LevelIntermediate Oral: 0.3 mg/kg/day (Zinc) (12) Chronic Oral: 0.3 mg/kg/day (Zinc) (12) Intermediate Oral: 0.005 mg/kg/day (Hexavalent Chromium) (12) Chronic Oral: 0.001 mg/kg/day (Hexavalent Chromium) (12)
SymptomsIngestion of large doses of zinc causes stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Acute inhalation of large amounts of zinc causes metal fume fever, which is characterized by chills, fever, headache, weakness, dryness of the nose and throat, chest pain, and coughing. Dermal contact with zinc results in skin irritation. Breathing hexavalent chromium can cause irritation to the lining of the nose, nose ulcers, runny nose, and breathing problems, such as asthma, cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing. Ingestion of hexavalent chromium causes irritation and ulcers in the stomach and small intestine, as well as anemia. Skin contact can cause skin ulcers. (7, 9)
TreatmentZinc poisoning is treated symptomatically, often by administering fluids such as water or milk, or with gastric lavage. There is no know antidote for chromium poisoning. Exposure is usually handled with symptomatic treatment. (7, 9)
