I have been researching the risks associated with chemically treated parts. All of the information I find covers the risks associated with the chemical conversion process, but I can't find anything about risks associated with already treated parts. Is there a significant risk of exposure to harmful substances (Cr VI, in particular) just by handling parts that have been chemically treated?
To be a bit more specific, we deal with a lot of parts that have been chemically treated per MIL-DTL-5541, which includes hex chrome.
