Abstract Some polyaminocarboxylic acids containing amino and carboxyl groups as metal binding sites in different structural arrangements were evaluated for their relative efficacy in protecting against acute chromate intoxication in mice. Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and 1,2 cyclohexylenediamine tetraacetic acid (CDTA) were most effective in preventing mortality (50–70%) due to a lethal dose of potassium chromate at one-tenth of their respective LD50.
