Dr. March Siegel appeared on America’s Newsroom when he said, “You’re literally inhaling paint and solvents to get approval… the problem is you have acetone in it, formaldehyde in it. These are called compounds. Volatile organic matter for a reason: it irritates your skin, it can get into your lungs, you can have a seizure, you can go into a coma and again, sometimes We sometimes see people die because of it.”

The chrome challenge seems to be a variation on the old trend of blowing or sniffing different materials. In this trend, a person has to inhale anything like aerosols, metal paints, solvents, and gases. As mentioned above, in 2019, two boys were killed doing this challenge. Dr Siegel expressed her stress and said: “The biggest problem is that long-term cognitive problems actually cause problems with concentration if you use it for long periods of time. A really dangerous idea is to put organic active compounds in the nose.” Skip to the next section and read more details.

The National Retail Consortium has come up with a definition to help you understand what chromium plating is. It has a broader definition, but the term “chroming” comes from the act of inhaling chrome-based deodorant or paint in the form of a vapor. Dr. Siegel blamed TikTok for de-viving the trend because it allowed the trend to grow. He says that is one of the problems he has with social media platforms and their influence. Additionally, RCH (Royal Children’s Hospital) in Melbourne has also explained Chroming in a series of guides shared on their website. Scroll down to read what the Royal Children’s Hospital has to say.
The RCH states that Chroming trends include the risk of tachycardia, which is used for high heart rates. It also alters the degree of central nervous system depression, or central nervous system depression, that occurs when a substance slows down brain activity. It also causes some side effects such as slurred speech, hallucinations, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. The effects of inhaling aerosols or metal pants are short-lived but can lead to heart attack, coma, permanent damage to organs such as the kidneys, heart, lungs, liver and brain, seizures or suffocate.

The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne also lists petroleum products, thinners, nail polish removers, hairspray and lighter fluids commonly used as sources of chromium. Children should stay away from these substances. Inhalation of these substances can lead to organ damage and convulsions. Children can inhale chemicals by soaking them in a cloth and placing them in a plastic bag from the container before inhaling them. Following Haynes’ death, Education Victoria said it would step up efforts to provide children with more information about chromium plating and its deadly effects.
