-What kind of chromium?
-There's more than one?

:29:35
There's straight-up chromium,
it does good things for the body.

:29:39
There's chrom three,
which is fairly benign.

:29:42
There's chrom six,
hexavalent chromium...

:29:44
...which, depending on the amounts,
can be harmful.

:29:47
Harmful how? What would you get?
:29:51
With repeated exposure
to toxic levels, anything...

:29:54
...from chronic headaches to respiratory
disease, liver failure...

:29:58
...heart failure, reproductive failure,
bone or organ deterioration.

:30:02
Plus, of course, any type of cancer.
:30:04
So that stuff, it kills people.
:30:07
Yeah, definitely.
:30:09
Highly toxic. Highly carcinogenic.
:30:11
It gets into your DNA, so you pass
the trouble to your kids. Very bad.

:30:15
Well, what's it used for?
:30:17
A rust inhibitor.
:30:19
The utility plants use piston engines
that get hot, they run water through.

:30:24
Chromium's in the water
to prevent corrosion.

:30:27
How do I find out what kind
of chromium they use in Hinkley?

:30:30
-Been to their water board?
-What's that?

:30:33
Every county has one.
:30:34
They keep records of anything
in their jurisdiction.

:30:37
-You should find something there.
-County water board.

:30:40
-Alrighty. Well, thanks.
-Good luck.

:30:44
I wouldn't advertise
what you're looking for.

:30:47
Incriminating records have a way of
disappearing when people smell trouble.

:30:52
I'll remember that. Thanks.
