Renal cadmium and zinc concentrations in horses in Norway

J Bjorland et al. Nord Vet Med. 1981 Dec.

Abstract

Much of the recent interest in cadmium has been inspired by concern about the increasing levels of this element in the environment. Exposure to low levels of cadmium may cause chronic effects. The intake of cadmium takes place mostly via foods. Therefore it is of interest to determine the cadmium levels in domestic animals in order to evaluate possible hazards both to animals and man.
