[Identification, using x-diffractometry, of chromium, lead and zinc compounds in pigments of protective paints].

The application of diffractometric techniques for the identification of crystalline compounds which are contained in paint pigments and are important from the hygienic point of view, is described. Particularly, it is possible to identify lead and zinc chromates either on untreated pigments, or on filters of air samples of work-places used for spray painting.
