Environmental pollution by cadmium and cadmium body burden: an autopsy study

R Lauwerys et al. Toxicol Lett. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

The industrial area of Liège in Belgium is polluted by cadmium mainly because of past emission from non-ferrous metal industries. Persons who have lived in that area have accumulated significantly more cadmium in the renal cortex and in the liver than those who have resided in other regions of the country.
