毒理性
鉴定和使用:钙铬酸盐(CaCrO4)是一种鲜黄色的粉末。它被用作颜料、腐蚀抑制剂、氧化剂、电池的去极化剂和轻金属合金的涂层。人类暴露和毒性:钙铬酸盐被怀疑是人类的致癌物质。据报道,消除钙铬酸盐的形成,在铬酸盐生产工厂首次接触后的工人中显著降低了支气管癌的死亡率。在体外实验中,当CaCrO4暴露条件相等时,人类细胞比仓鼠细胞多出四倍的DNA断裂,比小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞多出两倍。碱性洗脱研究也表明,CaCrO4在所有三种细胞系中形成了DNA-蛋白质交联。与小鼠细胞相比,人类细胞中的交联水平高出四倍,仓鼠细胞比小鼠细胞高出两倍。在另一个体外实验中,用不同浓度的K2Cr2O7、CaCrO4和CrO3处理在BrdUrd存在下培养2个复制周期的人淋巴细胞。观察到姐妹染色单体交换(SCEs)。在所有情况下,浓度越高,每个中期和每条染色体的SCE频率越高。按浓度计算,产生SCE的有效性顺序是:CaCrO4远大于CrO3大于K2CrO7。动物研究:钙铬酸盐在大鼠经支气管内植入小丸后产生支气管癌,在大鼠和小鼠肌肉内植入小丸以及在大鼠胸膜内注射后产生注射部位肉瘤。在Drosophila melanogaster的饮食水平为500和700 ppm时,钙铬酸盐诱导了性连锁隐性突变。钙铬酸盐在小鼠淋巴瘤L5178Y TK+/TK-正向突变试验中呈阳性。研究了氯化镍、结晶硫化镍和CaCrO4处理后中国仓鼠卵巢细胞和C3H10T1/2细胞的染色体畸变。这三种化合物都以浓度和时间依赖性的方式增加了染色体畸变。碱性洗脱研究表明,CaCrO4在中国仓鼠卵巢细胞中引起了DNA单链断裂和DNA-蛋白质交联。生态毒性研究:200 ppm的钙铬酸盐使植物生长抑制了50%。
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Calcium chromate (CaCrO4) is a bright yellow powder. It is used as a pigment, corrosion inhibitor, oxidizing agent, depolarizer for batteries, and coating for light metal alloys. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Calcium chromate is a suspected human carcinogen. It has been reported that eliminating the formation of calcium chromate, had resulted in a distinct reduction in bronchial carcinoma mortality among workers at chromate-producing factories exposed for the first time after the change-over. In vitro, human cells exhibited four times more DNA breaks than the hamster cells and two times more than mouse embryo fibroblast cells when the CaCrO4 exposure conditions were equivalent. Alkaline elution studies also demonstrated the formation of DNA-protein cross-links by CaCrO4 in all three cell lines. The level of cross-links was four times greater in the human cells compared to the mouse cells and was a factor of 2 greater in the hamster cells compared to the mouse cells. In other in vitro experiment, treatments with various concentrations of K2Cr2O7, CaCrO4, and CrO3 were given to human lymphocytes cultured in presence of BrdUrd for 2 replicative cycles. Sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were visualized. In all cases, the higher the concentrations the higher the frequencies of SCEs per metaphase and per chromosome. On a concentration basis, the order of effectiveness in producing SCEs was: CaCrO4 much greater than CrO3 greater than K2Cr2O7. ANIMAL STUDIES: Calcium chromate produced bronchial carcinomas after implantation of an intrabronchial pellet in rats and injection-site sarcomas after intramuscular implantation in rats and mice and after intrapleural injection in rats. Calcium chromate was positive for the induction of sex linked recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster at dietary levels of 500 and 700 ppm. Calcium chromate was positive in the L5178Y TK+/TK- mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay. Chromosomal aberrations were studied in Chinese hamster ovary cells and in C3H10T1/2 cells following treatment with NiCl2, crystalline NiS, and CaCrO4. All three compounds caused an increase in chromosomal aberrations in a concentration- and time-dependent fashion. Alkaline elution studies demonstrated CaCrO4-induced DNA single strand breaks and DNA-protein crosslinks in Chinese hamster ovary cells. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Calcium chromate at 200 ppm inhibited plant growth by 50%.
