Occupational cadmium exposure in jig solderers.
The cadmium body burden, blood and urine cadmium concentrations, and renal function were studied in a group of 53 cadmium solderers. The results showed raised blood and urine cadmium concentrations and raised cadmium body burden in all workers (31) with more than five years exposure, with 27 having urine cadmium concentrations in excess of the proposed biological threshold of 10 nmol/mmol creat...
متن کاملDecreased glomerular filtration rate in solderers exposed to cadmium.
OBJECTIVES to evaluate the degree of cadmium induced glomerular impairment and to assess the dose-response relation between cadmium dose and the prevalence of glomerular dysfunction. METHODS A comparison of glomerular filtration rates (GFR) assessed by Cr-EDTA clearance was made in 42 solderers previously exposed to cadmium for at least five years. Blood and urine data were collected at healt...
متن کاملNephropathy in cadmium workers: assessment of risk from airborne occupational exposure to cadmium.
To assess the quantitative relation between exposure to airborne cadmium and various markers of renal tubular and glomerular function, 45 male workers employed at a plant that recovers cadmium from industrial waste and 32 male hospital workers of similar age and geographical location were examined. Cumulative external exposure to airborne cadmium (dose) was estimated from historical air samplin...
متن کاملEffect of Occupational Cadmium Exposure on Parathyroid Gland
BACKGROUND Cadmium (Cd) is used in many industries. High-level exposure is associated with severe kidney and bone damage. AIM This study investigates the possible effect of occupational cadmium exposure on parathyroid gland and some minerals in workers. METHODS Environmental air monitoring of cadmium was done. Serum and urine cadmium levels, kidney function, some minerals, and plasma parath...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to arsenic and cadmium in thin-film solar cell production.
INTRODUCTION Workers involved in the production of Cd/As-based photovoltaic modules may be routinely or accidentally exposed to As- or Cd-containing inorganic compounds. METHODS Workers' exposure to As and Cd was investigated by environmental monitoring following a worst-case approach and biological monitoring from the preparation of the working facility to its decommissioning. Workplace surf...
