[11] As for all chromates, which are chromium(VI) species, the compound poses a hazard of toxicity, carcinogenicity and genotoxicity, as well as great environmental harm.

[2] The formation of insoluble Ag2CrO4 nanostructures via the above reaction with good control over particle size and shape has been achieved through sonochemistry, template-assisted synthesis or hydrothermal methods.

The orthorhombic polymorph is the commonly encountered one and it crystallizes in the space group Pnma, with two distinct coordination environments for the silver ions (one tetragonal bipyramidal and the other distorted tetrahedral).

The titration was introduced by Mohr in the mid 19th century and despite limitations in pH conditions it has not completely fallen out of use since.

[10] Several variations on the method exist to increase contrast or selectivity in the type of neuron stained, and include additional impregnation in mercuric chloride solution (Golgi-Cox) or post-treatment with osmium tetroxide (Cajal or rapid Golgi).

[10] The previously infeasible observations enabled by the silver chromate staining technique led to the eventual award of the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to discoverer Golgi and pioneer of its use and improvement Ramón y Cajal.

[11] The battery was intended for biomedical applications and had characteristics like high reliability and shelf life quality for the time of discovery.
