		Cadmium pigments (mainly cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenosulfide) are produced as powders, pellets, pastes and liquids and are primarily used for the colouring of plastics.
		Cadmium is highly corrosion resistant, and is widely used to plate metal parts used in general industrial hardware as well as in the automotive, electronics, marine and aerospace industries.
		Cadmium concentration in urine is considered to be more reflective of body burden in currently-exposed workers than cadmium in blood, and is the most widely used biological measure of chronic exposure to cadmium.

	CADMIUM
		Cadmium is also a constituent of alloys, pigments, batteries, metal coatings for example protective coatings on steel, plastics and fertilisers.
		Cadmium is also found in cigarette fumes (0.007 to 0.35 µg per cigarette) and fumes from vehicles.
		As mentioned above, cadmium poisoning may be acute by ingestion or inhalation or the poisoning may be chronic at lower levels, which can cause kidney damage by the mechanism described above.

		Cadmium has the ability to absorb neutrons, so it is used as a barrier to control nuclear fission.
		Cadmium also consists in the industries as an inevitable by-product of zinc, lead and copper extraction.

	[No title]
		Studies have found that urine levels of cadmium as low as 1 microgram per gram of creatinine may be linked to kidney injury and an increased risk for low bone mineral density.
		Cadmium is a metal found naturally in the earth's crust, but because it reacts readily with other elements like oxygen, chlorine and sulfur, it's rarely found in pure form.
		Cadmium is also used in manufacturing batteries, pigments, metal coatings and plastics, so living near or working in one of these facilities could increase your exposure through air or water (it's estimated that 4,000 to 13,000 tons of cadmium are released into the environment every year due to such processes).
