Cadmium Poisoning through industrial exposure to inorganic cadmium fumes may produce fatigue, coughing, chest pain, a burning sensation in the throat, and kidney damage. Inhalation of cadmium fumes can lead to emphysema with chronic exposure. LabSafe offers a Cadmium Blood Test to check for Cadmium Poisoning.
Cadmium Poisoning is predominantly associated with cadmium fumes and/or inorganic cadmium salts that may be present in certain industrial environments. Cadmium and its inorganic compounds are commonly found in industry. Cadmium is utilized in many alloys and metal plating. Inorganic cadmium fumes or dusts are generally associated with heating, welding, and grinding of cadmium-containing metal products.
In organic forms, cadmium is present in food, water, and air. The normal daily intake of organic forms of cadmium ranges from 2-200 µg. Although this soluble form of cadmium may produce toxicity, overexposure to organic cadmium is generally indicative of isolated, environmental pollution.
