Dear Ron Roy,

Since you choose to piggy back on my posting <<..how much do we need to =
inhale before it's a problem..>> I would say, "None".

Anyone who needlessly or deliberately exposes themselves to the =
emanations of any active kiln is being foolhardy.

My experiences of Chrome, via a company called "Associated Chrome =
Chemical Co." at Yarm in N. Yorkshire tell me even green chrome oxide =
should be treated with great respect. Workers there knew, and this was =
between 1962 and 1969, that any abrasion which became contaminated with =
dirt within the plant would be slow to heal.

Please take care and best regards,

Ivor Lewis. Redhill, South Australia
