There are over 500 substances that are probable carcinogens
including auto exhaust, cigarettes, processed meats etc.basically
what they are saying is  that hex chrome causes cancer along with
all those other items,this really is a myth,has it been proven to
be a carcinogen, a carcinogen is a substance that causes cancer, I
have been in business or 30 years. All those years I have never
heard of anyone dying or even becoming ill from chrome. I have been
doing all my chrome plating myself and yet I am still here and in
good health. I am small 2 man shop not a threat to human health in
any way and have proof of it.recently the epa conducted a site
investigation on my shop. I spent an enormouse amount of money on
lawyer fees geologist fees etc.They took soil samples septic tank
samples cameras through the plumbing. In the end the test results
came back (nd) non detected for chrome, nickel, copper or any oher
hazardous material. Therefore my shop is not a threat to public
health, furthermore I am one of the smallest shops in California, I
am only allowed 66 amp hrs per day, but only do about 20 per day,
mostly small parts. With that being said how can my shop be a
threat to anyone. If they do pass this law, I can't see how these
businesses will survive.The sad thing is probably about 90 percent
workers and/ or owners are hispanic such as myself.that have been
doing this for a very long time.thak you for your time
