Look under "What is cadmium." It says, "Chemical Element, Tansition Metal, Group 12, similar to zinc and Mercury, Abundant...Used for while as a pigment and for steel plating against corrosion. Highly toxic!" I repeat HIGHLY TOXIC!
The EPA has Cd listed as a "probable" carcinogen. Animal studies indicate that Cd aerosols can cause lung cancer in rats. However, epidemiological studies in humans are not clear at the moment. For instance, studies of workers from Ni-Cd battery plants do not indicate an elevated risk for lung cancer. Other studies of workers from certain types of smelters do in fact show elevated risks for lung cancer. However, it has been argued that these elevated standardized morality ratios may also be due to the confounding effects of As(III), Cr(VI) and/or air pollution. Recent reviews of the literature suggest that Cd exposure is not a risk factor for prostate cancer.
Cadmium is assosciated with the burning of fossil fuels and municipal wastes. It also can be easily absorbed, which means that crops and other bilogical life can intake this element with little effort. This results in a large range of health issues.
It is a element that is not suited for the human body
Cadmium can be very toxic, and is dangerous if it is swallowed or inhaled.
Yes, cadmium and compounds of Cd are considered toxic.
Yes, cadmium is toxic.
yes
Cadmium is highly toxic. Iridium is used as a catalyst in the production of acetic acid.
Cadmium, lead, and mercury are toxic heavy metals; arsenic is a toxic semi-metal. All of these are extremely dangerous to human health.
A number of elements are toxic. Fluorine, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, cadmium, arsenic, antimony, mercury, thallium, lead, and polonium are toxic just to name a few.
I have heard that coffee plants naturally up-concentrate cadmium to act as an insecticide, or as a defense strategy to make themselves inhospitable to insects. Is this true? There are many reports that coffee is a common source of cadmium. That coffee plants are 'tolerant' to cadmium. Is this because, like fish methylating mercury to protect themselves from its (mercury's) toxicity, coffee is deliberately utilizing cadmium's toxic nature to protect itself?
Cadmium is the element that has a nuclear charge of +48. It has a melting point of 610 degrees Fahrenheit.
No. Cadmium is a heavy metal and very toxic.
It is metallic, lustrous and toxic. It is used for plating and for pigment manufacture
Cadmium
Cadmium is highly toxic. Iridium is used as a catalyst in the production of acetic acid.
Cadmium, lead, and mercury are toxic heavy metals; arsenic is a toxic semi-metal. All of these are extremely dangerous to human health.
Cadmium, lead, and nickel are all fatal and deadly. Cadmium is actually radioactive
No. It is a strategically valuable metal for its use in nuclear reactors, but almost everyone who has a rechargeable battery has NiCad or nickel-cadmium. You can buy pure cadmium metal, although cadmium powder is toxic if allowed to combust.
Cadmium, Phosphor material and Lead coated glass of CRT that's so TOXIC.
The fumes from the plasma cutter itself is not toxic. When cutting metals such as such as galvanized steel, lead, or cadmium-plated steel, the metal can put off toxic fumes.
The glass they were made of was found to have unsafe levels of cadmium. Cadmium is a toxic metal that can cause many heath problems depending on exposure type.
Batteries can contain some toxic metals as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.
Some oil based paints are toxic. Cadmium is toxic. Also, turpentine is toxic, but they make odorless thinners that work just as well. Obviously, you don't want to ingest any of these or leave it on your skin for too long.
