A research consortium led by RIVM examined the possible health effects for (former) employees and participants of the tROM-project of the city of Tilburg. In this tROM-project, maintenance of trains involved working with paint layers that contained chroom-6. In the part of the research that was carried out by METRO, the question is addressed how and whether one can judge about liability of the city of Tilburg. Other questions addressed in the research concern possible (types of) damages and procedural aspects. In the annex the liability of third parties is being examined.

More information and conclusions relating to the research ‘Chroom-6 bij het re-integratieproject tROM: gezondheidsrisico’s en verantwoordelijkheden - Bevindingen uit het onderzoek op hoofdlijnen (RIVM Rapport 2018-0164)’ can be found onthe RIVM website (www.rivm.nl).
