Is chromium an essential or a toxic element?
Chromium holds a frequent and important place in toxicological literature. The large number of more or less important toxicological facts (e.g. allergic dermatoses, ulcer, perforations of the nasal septum, bronchitis, cancerogenity etc.) are the reason why chromium is conceived rather as a toxic element. On the other hand in the non-toxicological literature favourable actions of chromium are described (its relationship to carbohydrate utilization, the glucose tolerance factor, diabetes etc.) which may induce us to consider chromium an essential element. Is chromium toxic or essential? It is both. The concept of essential or toxic cannot be conceived statically, these terms are relative and depend on a number of other facts and data (dose, time, chemical form, individuality of the organism, interaction with other substances in the environment etc). This relative view has a more general validity not only for chromium but for trace elements in general and it is very important in particular with regard to prevention of health damage caused by deficiency or excess of a substance.
