Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is expected to complete sometime this year its 5-year review of the Public Health Goal for Cr6. The PHG is currently set at 0.02 ppb.

The most recent publicized activity on this was OEHHA’s extension of the comment period for this review until December 13, 2016.
