Cr(VI) MOA Study Presentations

Findings of the Cr(VI) Mode of Action (MOA) Research Study have been presented at several scientific conferences including annual meetings of the Society of Toxicology and the Toxicology Forum. These presentations focus on the potential effects of hexavalent chromium exposure in both rodents and humans, particularly the risk of cancerous tumor formations following ingestion from sources such as drinking water.
