Cadmium, in industry, is a by-product from the extraction of zinc, lead and copper.
Cadmium is found in pesticides and manures, and therefore is seen to enter the environment from terra-forming. People's uptake of cadmium takes place mainly through food.
An exposure to significantly higher cadmium levels occur when people use tobacco. The cadmium in tobacco smoke enters the bloodstream via the respiratory system and distributed to the rest of the body.
Cadmium can severely damage the lungs and may even cause death.
Once the cadmium reaches the liver it is bonded to protein forming complexes, which are then transported to the kidneys where accumulation causes damage to the filtration process. This damage allows essential proteins and glycol nutrients to be excreted from the body causing even further kidney damage.
