Cadmium plating HAS NOT been banned. If it was airplanes would disappear tomorrow! Cadmium plating allows steel (like blind rivets) to be in contact with aluminum without galvanic corrosion occurring in the presences of water or other electrolytes.
While cadmium build up in your body is toxic, the cadmium on fasteners are only an issue to the airplane manufacturer and mechanics. Typically, cadmium does not become airborne and stays where bonded with the steel so passengers are not effected.
Since Cadmium is nearly irreplaceable due to its properties don't expect it to be banned anytime soon. Especially in the military industry. Once aircraft construction moves to being entirely carbon fiber based, cadmium should disappear from the aircraft industry.
That said, carbon fiber, when pulverized from vibration in an aircraft, is far more destructive to your body over the short term than cadmium. The damage from carbon fiber dust in irreversible. The effects are much line the 9/11 rescuers illness only more acute. Unlike cadmium, carbon fiber dust IS airborne and lingers for extended periods of time making it an insidious danger, especially for passengers riding in aging aircraft.
So, choose your poison!

What is cadmium sulfate used for?
These are the uses of Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production. Cadmium was used for a long time as a pigment and for corrosion resistant plating on steel. Cadmium compounds were used to stabilize plastic. With the exception of its use innickel-cadmium batteries and cadmium telluride solar panels, the use of cadmium is generally decreasing in its other applications. These declines have been due to competing technologies, cadmium's toxicity in certain forms and concentration and resulting regulations [4]. Although cadmium is toxic, one enzyme, a carbonic anhydrase with cadmium as reactive center has been discovered.
