Cadmium is a heavy metal that is poisonous.

Cadmium can cause pulmonary edema, kidney failure, cancer, liver damage, softening of the bones, demineralization of the bone, Arthritis, loss of the sense of smell, and death.

The body can't get rid of cadmium, so any exposure builds up over a lifetime.
