Recently, pilot studies showed an evidence of reduction of airborne hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), on PVC filter during air sampling and Storage. However, the information on this in the field was limited. Thus, we Studied the reduction behaviors of airborne Cr(VI) on PVC filters during sampling and storage at three field electroplating operations-Regression between sampling time and the reduction (ratio of Cr(VI) to total Cr concentrations) was not statistically significant (p＞0.05). However, the reductions in samples collected for 240~340 minutes were significantly higher than those for 30-6O minutes. On the Other hand, another experiment showed a good correlation (r=0.96) between sampling lime and the reduction without an exceptional value. Storage temperature was not a factor affecting the reduction of Cr(VI) collected on PVC filter. The loss of Cr(VI) samples Stored in alkali solution (2% NaOH/3% Na²CO³) was significantly lower than that stored in vial according to NIOSH method (p〈0.05). Thus, dipping Cr(VI) samples into alkali solution was a storage method Io minimize the redution.
