Suspected carcinogen. Probably a poison by various routes. Mutation data reported. Corrosive. A strong irritant. Hydrolyzes to form chromic and hydrochloric acids. A strong oxidizer and chlorinating agent. Violent reaction with water. Reacts violently with alcohol, ether, acetone, turpentine. Ignites or explodes on contact with nonmetal halides (e.g., disulfur dichloride, phosphorus trichloride, and phosphorus tribromide), nonmetal hydrides (e.g., hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen phosphide), flowers of sulfur, moist phosphorus, sodium azide, and urea. During preparation can violently explode. Incompatible with ammonia, disulfur dichloride, organic solvents, phosphorus, phosphorus trichloride, sodium azide, and sulfur. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl−. See also CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS.
