TLDR
The results demonstrate that Cr(III) is absorbed through the respiratory tract, but its kinetics and distribution in the body are not the same as for Cr(VI), and are not adequately monitored by short-term urinary determinations.

The tagging of red cells and plasma proteins with radioactive chromium

TL;DR: The present report is concerned with a new biological tracer, radioactive chromium (Cr51), which is bound by the red cells and plasma proteins, and both anionic hexavalent and cationic trivalent states of the element have been studied.

Urinary excretion of chromium as an indicator of exposure to trivalent chromium sulphate in leather tanning

TL;DR: Two workers exposed to trivalent chromium sulphate in a leather tannery had high concentrations of chromium in the urine and in the blood stream, and chromium was transported exclusively in the plasma.

Electrothermal atomisation atomic-absorption spectrophotometric determination of chromium(VI) in urine by solvent extraction separation with liquid anion exchangers.

TL;DR: An electrothermal atomic-absorption spectrophotometric determination of chromium(VI) in urine samples is described and the separation of these ions from the biological matrix by using high relative molecular mass amines is reported.

Exceptional pharmacokinetics of trivalent chromium during occupational exposure to chromium lignosulfonate dust.

TL;DR: It is concluded that chromium (III) lignosulfonate yields chromium(III), which acts pharmacokinetically like water-soluble hexavalent chromium compounds.
