A worker with strong chromium sensitivity was obliged to handle freshly printed paper with inks containing chromium. Because of his importance to the firm, he continued in the position despite a severe hand dermatitis. Gloves and barrier creams were unacceptable, as were oral antihistamines and corticosteroids. A solution of 10% ascorbic acid was applied to his hands at the worksite in order to reduce the active hexavalent chromium to the inactive trivalent form. This inexpensive, easy-to-use method resulted in a speedy recovery and long-term employment of a valued employee.
一名对铬高度敏感的工人不得不处理含有铬的油墨刚印好的纸张。由于他对公司很重要，尽管手部患有严重的皮炎，他仍继续留在该岗位。手套和防护霜都不可用，口服抗组胺药和皮质类固醇也不行。为了将活性六价铬还原为无活性的三价形式，在工作现场给他的手上涂抹了10%的抗坏血酸溶液。这种廉价且易于使用的方法使一位重要员工迅速康复并得以长期留用。
