| Abstract |
After reviewing the production and occurrence of cadmium and its importance as a polluting agent in food and water, the article deals with the air concentration of cadmium at the workplace and the incidence of cadmium poisoning, giving details of symptoms in acute and chronic intoxications. A number of cases from the author's practice, especially those of 4 brazers, are described. The possibilities offered by laboratory tests to confirm exposure and permit diagnosis are discussed and a review of the relevant West German regulations concludes the article. |
