Potassium
dichromate is one of the most common causes of dermatitis; chromium is highly likely to induce sensitization leading to dermatitis, especially of the hand and fore-arms, which is chronic and difficult to treat.
Key players in the global sodium
dichromate market are Elementis plc (U.K), Soda Sanayii (Turkey), Lanxess (Germany), Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation (Japan), Yin He Holdings Limited (Hong Kong), Sichuan Chemical Group Co., Ltd (China), Vishnu Chemicals (India), Haining Peace Chemical Co., Ltd (China), Gansu Qiyuan Chromate-Chemical Production Co., Limited (China), Tianjin Mingyang Chemical Industry Co.
The most prominent among them were 16 and 12 percent increase from the post- mordanting of potassium
dichromate and post- treatment of UV- SUN, respectively (Fig- 3).
In our study the most common allergen in ESS was found to be potassium
dichromate (24%).
Then 10 mL of 1 N potassium
dichromate was added, mixed, and allowed to react for 30 min.

Patch testing results in Table I show that West Virginia has comparable rates of tested contact dermatitis allergens to the rest of the United States with exceptions of higher amounts of mercapto mix and potassium
dichromate. Mercapto mix is a common rubber additive (9), and potassium
dichromate is used in cement-based construction and chemical processing.
The allergens used included the following 20 allergens: control (petrolatum), potassium
dichromate 0.5%; neomycin sulphate 20%; cobalt chloride 1%; benzocaine 5%; formaldehyde 1%; paraphenylenediamine base 0.1%; parabens 15%; nickel sulphate 5%; colophony 20%; mercaptobenzothiazole 2%; nitrofurazone 1%; epoxy resin 1%; fragrance mix 8%; chlorocresol 1%; wool alcohol 30%; balsam of Peru 25%; thiuram mix 1%; black rubber mix 0.6%; Parthenium.
Among thesepollutants chromate (CrO4 2-),
dichromate (Cr2O7 2-),phosphate (PO4), nitrite (NO2 ) and selenate (SeO4) are the most common ones [21].
The list of potential allergens to consider includes metal (especially nickel, cobalt, and potassium
dichromate), fragrances such as formaldehyde and balsam of Peru, and preservatives, as well as topical emollients, corticosteroids, antibiotics, and antiseptics.
