What is cadmium? 

Cadmium is a heavy metal that is naturally found in soil, water and air. It is mainly used in batteries, paints, plastics and metal coatings. However, excessive and unsafe exposure can cause serious health problems for humans.

Effects of its toxicity on humans

Cadmium toxicity primarily affects humans in two ways: the respiratory system and the digestive system. When cadmium particles enter the lungs through air, it can cause inflammation and damage to the lungs. Long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Kidney damage

Consuming cadmium through food or water has a bad effect on digestion. It can accumulate in the body and damage the kidney function. This can lead to kidney failure and problems related to the urinary system. Prolonged exposure to it weakens the bones, which is known as "Itai-itai disease".

How does cadmium toxicity occur?

Its toxicity is mainly spread through industrial pollution, cigarette smoke and contaminated food. To protect against cadmium, it is important to consume clean water and food, wear a mask in polluted areas and increase environmental awareness.

Cadmium toxicity is a serious environmental and health concern. Strict rules and policies are necessary to control it so that both humans and the environment can be kept safe. We should make every effort to avoid the ill effects of cadmium.
