Description

Cadmium is a heavy metal that occurs naturally in the environment and is found in small amounts in many foods. It can cause kidney damage and impaired kidney function. Cadmium hydroxide (Cd(OH)2) is a white powder with a strong alkaline taste. This compound has been used for various purposes, such as an analytical reagent, pigment, or chemical intermediate. The major health effect of cadmium is on the kidneys, which can be affected by cadmium compounds at low doses. Cd(OH)2 has been shown to induce proteinuria in rats and mice when injected into the bloodstream or given orally.
Cadmium hydroxide (Cd(OH)2) can also produce low molecular mass proteins that are cytotoxic to cells exposed to Cd(OH)2 at high concentrations. This substance may also cause cancer in humans if it enters the body.>>END>>
