Chromium
A hard, brittle, grayish heavy metal used in tanning, in paint formulation, and in plating metal for corrosion protection.
Chromium (Cr)
A heavy metal that exists naturally as the trivalent (III) form and is man-made in the hexavalent (VI) form.
e.g., mercury, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, and lead. They
can damage living things at low concentrations and tend to
accumulate in the food chain.

Chromated Copper Arsenate: An insecticide/herbicide formed from salts of three toxic metals: copper, chromium, and arsenic. This salt is used extensively as a wood preservative in pressure-treating operations.
