Option 4 : All the above

Chromium is a material used with good intentions in the electronic industry. This substance prevents corrosion and can increase conductivity of electrical impulses. Though most types of chromium and its oxides are relatively harmless, there is one form, Chromium VI, which can present serious negative consequences for the human body.

Found mostly in data tapes and floppy disks, this substance is easily absorbed even at the cellular level and can cause irritation to the mucous membranes as well as DNA damage.
