Should I be afraid of touching nickel-cadmium batteries? Nastajus 03:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would say, only if they're leaking... - Aerobird 04:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

at http://www.bizchair.com/rpes-02blk-pg.html?CAWELAID=64843345 I read that there are swingset seats with cadmium plating to make them shiny plus corrosion resistant

I wrote to consumer union consumer reports action at consumer dot org to suggest they verify then publicize; readers here could also communicate with them if motivated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.211.106.254 (talk) 22:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably Chromium, not cadmium? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.183.160.172 (talk) 21:07, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Oppose merger, the Itai-itai disease is an example where cadmium poisoning affected a large number of people. The description of the symptoms on Itai-itai disease can be moved to cadmium poisoning, but the specifics for this instance deserve its sepatare article -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

tai tai desease?

in the cadmium article, it says tai tai means pain pain, here it says ouch ouch. which one is it? should they both mention both?

It's itai-itai disease, not "tai tai", and it can be translated either way. —Keenan Pepper 16:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Itai is japanese meaning great "pain". The word "ouch" is more a linguistic expression IMO. "Pain" should be the proper word to describe this human reaction. 188.22.177.62 (talk) 21:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cadmium in silver solder

"Silver solder, for example, which contains cadmium, should be handled with care." I have some silver solder that is 4% silver and 96% tin. If there is cadmium, it must occur as a contaminant. Can anyone verify this. --24.16.148.75 22:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For my view get a ventilation to get ride of the fume, the other stuff is also not very healthy. If you have the posibility do analysis for cadmium or call the manufacturer.--Stone 08:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exposure

House episode

There's a House episode with Cadmium poisoning. Is it worth mentioning? Albmont (talk) 19:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a minimum level to reach toxicity in adults, children, pets?

Does anyone have information on how much cadmium there needs to be in the body to reach toxicity? All the entry says is that it is toxic even at "low levels," but does not illuminate what is that level. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.157.30.170 (talk) 20:11, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. What I do have read, is that cadmium has an extremely long "biological half-time", meaning that even very small intakes on a regular basis will accumulate to a large quantity, given enough time. Thus, I suppose that it is not just a matter of a (reasonably) safe lowest intake per diem, but of a safe total intake on a lifetime basis. JoergenB (talk) 19:28, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is IUPAC investigation suitable to include?

I just saw that the IUPAC has adopted a new project: To investigate or evaluate the toxicity of Cadmium; see their statement. I was thinking of incorporating a note to the article; but perhaps, this is not suitable. I guess it would have to be inserted in a new section, "Further investigations" or similarly, and is not quite in par with the rest of the article. JoergenB (talk) 19:36, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By all means! Add this info to the article when time permits...Gandydancer (talk) 18:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The new shrek glasses contain cadmium.... I have been drinking out of them for a month. Should I be worried? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.99.119 (talk) 01:34, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the time frame between exposure and symptom onset, death, etc.?

== What is the time frame between exposure and symptom onset? Do symptoms continue to get worse after exposure ends? Can a person have cadmium poisoning and still be around (and getting worse) seven or eight years later, or would they be dead if untreated for that long??? Fraukt2 (talk) 21:35, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beginning statement and reference need to be altered/removed

Starting the article with a bold, unsupported (uncited) statement should be avoided; it reads more like a statement of propaganda rather than information.

Also, Cadmium is undoubtedly toxic, but this should be supported by a link to an academic source rather than an "organic living" website that sells colon cleansers as its primary source of income.

I would alter it rather than discuss it here, but I don't have a suitable replacement at this time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.224.211 (talk) 16:47, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have fixed it. Gandydancer (talk) 17:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Effects on the Bones

The article says that the bones are weakened by Cadmium. I do not doubt this, however it is not explained why the bones become brittle. Is there no official explanation for that? No cause-effect relation that is mentioned somewhere? 188.22.177.62 (talk) 21:17, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New paper

Looks at possible link between low level cadmium exposure and Coronary Heart Disease Risk

Not sure if it should be included. The failure to pick up anything in women looks odd.©Geni (talk) 01:58, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Remediation

There was a statement that I removed that Cd contamination in soil could be removed to mine for use in NiCd batteries. That's wrong, but I wasn't sure what to do with it because I didn't want to delete someone's contribution; maybe their soil is contaminated and they're learning what they can do in a hopeful vein. They also had wording that indicated NiCd batteries are the common use of cadmium, which is correct and seems relevant to the article but not where it was placed. So I added primary sources and uses in the header paragraph where it is relevant, linked to USGS, and linked to a soil remediation paper to not eliminate the other contributors train of thought. Environmental remediation or workplace mitigation could each be sections, as could treatment for human poisoning. 75.167.211.204 (talk) 05:55, 27 February 2018 (UTC)sustain4people[reply]
