How to recognize these 5 toxic dangers (slideshow)
Cadmium
Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal even in trace quantities. In the 1950s it was commonly encountered in industrial workplaces but soon its toxic effects were drastically reduced through governmental policies to eliminate exposure. However, it is still possible to be exposed to cadmium. In fact, it’s estimated that 512,000 Americans are exposed to cadmium in the construction and manufacturing sectors every year.
Cadmium has been found in industrial paints. For example, in June 2016 cadmium was found in the paint of a drinking glasses sold at McDonald’s promoting the movie Shrek Forever After, which triggered a recall of 12 million glasses. Other sources of cadmium are industrial electroplating, battery manufacturing, construction and even agriculture.
Food can be another source, with higher levels found in adult animals exposed to it in their food, water or air. Cadmium is also found in cigarettes — and human lungs absorb cadmium very efficiently.
