Abstract
The study represents an assessment of airborne fugitive hexavalent chromium concentrations at these facilities. In an effort to develop a model for stack emissions of Cr(VI), EPA data were reviewed and a correlation for chromium emissions was reported versus ampere-hours and plating bath volume. A modification of a stack sampling train was constructed to accommodate fugitive sampling efforts made at two hard chrome plating facilities. The levels found at both sites, for the most part, were below detection limits of 4 micrograms cu m and 6 micrograms cu m for the 1st and 2nd plant, respectively. The annual emission rates from Plants 1 and 2 are < 0.5 and < 1 lb Cr(VI) per year, respectively.
