Cadmium pollution turns out to be a global environmental problem. This study conducted a quantitative and qualitative bibliometric analysis based on 9188 research items from the Web of Science Core Collection published in the last 20 years (2000–2020), presenting an in-depth statistical investigation of global freshwater cadmium research …

The cadmium transport factors of Pennisetum alopecuroides are shown in Figure 8. As the concentration of cadmium treatment increased, the cadmium transport factors of Pennisetum alopecuroides showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. When the soil cadmium concentration was 10 mg/kg, the cadmium transport factors of …

Perhaps the most infamous historical mine wastes are those in the Río Tinto Mining District in Andalusia, Spain. Here, more than 5000 years of mining and natural …

The goal of this study was to quantify the mobility and partitioning of trace elements originating from mine waste rocks derived from open pit coal extraction activities. The results showed that native rice plants were adapted to growing in metal contaminated soils, posing a severe health risk to local population. Sequential extraction procedures and …

1 Introduction. Cadmium is produced as a by-product from mining, smelting, and refining sulphide ores of zinc, and to a lesser degree, lead and copper. Cadmium minerals do …

Lead and cadmium concentrations in tailing and waste rock samples are listed in Table 2. The results found that Pb level in mining wasters was within range of earth crust [17], while Cd content varied largely from 0.70 to 79.92 g/g, significantly higher than 0.1 0.2 g/g of the earth crust[18].

Bioaccessibility and relative bioavailability of As, Cd, Pb and Sb was investigated in 30 legacy gold mining wastes (calcine sands, grey battery sands, tailings) from Victorian goldfields (Australia). Pseudo-total As concentration in 29 samples was 1.45-148-fold higher than the residential soil guid …

Cadmium, Zn, pH and organic carbon in soils as well as Cd in crops were determined. The concentrations of Cd in soils vary between 0.139–2.59, 0.182–22.8, 0.157–0.812, 0.180–94.0 mg/kg in Dexing, Yangjiazhangzhi, Hongqiling and Baiyin mining areas, respectively. The median values of Cd in soils are higher than their respective …

Cadmium can leak into the water and accumulate in sediments through human activities, such as mining or soil fertilization [14, 15]. It can also enter the human diet in different ways, including ...

Further, 95% of the samples have an HPI value greater than 100 indicating high heavy metal contamination. CD value denotes contamination of 89% of the samples with heavy metals (As, Hg, Cd, Pb). Through spatial distribution, it can be interpreted that most of the contaminated samples lie near thermal power plants, ash ponds, and coal …

More than one and a half centuries ago, adverse human health effects were reported after use of a cadmium-containing silver polishing agent. Long-term cadmium exposure gives rise to kidney or bone disease, reproductive toxicity and cancer in animals and humans. At present, high human exposures to cadmium occur in small-scale …

Symptoms of cadmium poisoning differ depending on whether you inhaled or ingested the metal. If you ingest contaminated food or water that contains cadmium, you may experience: Nausea and …

Mine wastes are unwanted and uneconomic materials (including rock, sediment, tailings, metallurgical wastes, dusts, ash, and processing chemicals) that are found at or near mine sites in virtually every country in the world ( 2 ). They often contain elevated concentrations of elements such as antimony, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, …

• Europe consumed 406 t more cadmium metal than it produced in 2018. On top of that, there was an important flow of cadmium metal leaving Europe of about 1 361 t in 2018. Therefore, Europe's total cadmium import was 1 767 t in 2018. Japan: 900t/y • Combining COMTRADE export data and BGS data on production, the Japanese consumption

It also presents a correlative analysis of cadmium lead and arsenic levels in these individuals and glomerular filtration rate. The study has value as an update on a previous study on heavy-metal levels in the same location.

Summary of key points. Cadmium: Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal with the chemical symbol "Cd" and atomic number 48. It is a transition metal and is relatively rare in the Earth's crust. Occurrence: Cadmium is commonly found as an impurity in zinc, lead, and copper ores, rather than occurring as a primary mineral.

Cadmium has a close resemblance to mercury and zinc. It is soft and in metal form a bluish-white colour. It is both ductile and malleable and is highly resistant to corrosion. It has wide uses in industry but by far its main use is in re-chargable batteries and in electroplating steel. Cadmium is Inflammable but can Release Toxic Fumes.

At present, high human exposures to cadmium occur in small-scale mining, underlining the need for preventive measures. This is particularly urgent in view of the …

The discovery of the low-molecular-weight protein metallothionein (MT) in 1957 was an important milestone because, when this protein binds cadmium, it modifies cellular cadmium toxicity. The ...

Since 1957 [4], increasing evidence has been accumulating on the role of the Metallothioneins (MTs) in cadmium toxicology. MTs are low-molecular-weight cadmium-binding proteins occurring in human and animal tissues. Piscator 1964 [5] suggested that binding of Cd to MTs modifies the toxicity of cadmium.

Sampling and treatment. Representative soil and crop samples were collected from farmlands in the four areas in the autumn of 2011, 2012 and 2013 when the crops matured. Soil samples were collected with a stainless shovel from the plough layer 0–20 cm depth. Plant roots, pebble and coarse debris were manually removed.

Our study investigated the morphology, physiology, and cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) uptake of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) under intercropping in mining soil. Results showed that mutual intercropping is conducive to the growth and biomass accumulation of kenaf and soybean, compared to their respective monoculture.

Current uses of cadmium include nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable batteries, coatings (electroplating), solar cells, and pigments. Because cadmium exposure at certain levels can be harmful to ...
