Quite correct, chromite compounds, from smelters and processing plants, include CRv1 (Cromium 6) which can form under high temperature or when chromium or CR111(normal form of CR found in mined ore)is in contact with some chemicals.

Chromite ore is inert and not known to be toxic. It is often stored in the open, subject to rain, snow, and wind, both in countries where it is mined and in for eg in the USA where it is processed.

The waste from that processing is a different matter and can contain toxins.
