Título Chronic cadmium poisoning in a pigment manufacturing plant.
Información bibliográfica Feb. 1981, Vol.38, No.1, p.76-86. Illus. 12 ref.
Resumen Cadmium concentrations in blood and urine of 12 past and present employees exposed to cadmium were determined. All 6 men who had worked in the production plant for 7 years or more showed signs of renal tubular damage; 2 of them exhibited exertional dyspnoea and pulmonary dysfunction. One had moderated airways obstruction. It is suggested that urinary Cd concentrations should be kept below 15µg/day to avoid the possibility of renal damage.
