Abstract |
A time-weighted cumulative exposure index (TWE) was calculated from cadmium exposure data and history of each of 82 industrially exposed workers. The cadmium body burden for each worker was measured directly in vivo (left kidney and liver) by neutron activation. A significant correlation was observed between the TWE and the liver cadmium burden of active workers and between the TWE and the percentage of workers with renal abnormalities. |
