Due to its low permissible exposure in humans, overexposure may occur even in situations where trace quantities of<unk>  are found.<unk>  is used extensively in electroplating, although the nature of the operation does not generally lead to overexposure.<unk>  is also found in some industrial paints and may represent a hazard when sprayed. Operations involving removal of<unk>  paints by scraping or blasting may pose a significant hazard. The primary use of<unk>  is in the manufacturing of NiCd rechargeable batteries.
