Abstract
Summary
Feeding cadmium oxide-containing food for 3 days at concentrations of 68 mg and 91 mg per lb of food results in cadmium retention in the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The increase is significant when compared to controls but is very low when compared to cadmium levels others have reported by inhalation or feeding. Humans with no known exposure to cadmium have higher cadmium levels in the kidneys than pigs fed cadmium as described above.
