| Abstract |
Blood and urine concentrations were determined in 92 workers exposed to cadmium, and the atmospheric CdO concentrations were monitored for 3 years at 9 workposts using a stationary sampler and at 2 workposts using individual samplers. There was good correlation between CdO concentration measurements using the stationary sampler and those made using individual samplers when workers remained at the same workpost for the complete shift. Urinary cadmium was more closely correlated to exposure levels than was blood cadmium. Once cadmium levels in the body have reached saturation point, urine cadmium is a better indicator of exposure than is blood cadmium. |
