Cadmium Exposure and Kidney Damage Study by Ichi Mochi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study assessed early kidney damage in a population near a large zinc smelter in Avonmouth, UK that emitted cadmium and other heavy metals over 70 years. The researchers measured cadmium levels in urine samples from 180 local residents and found median levels close to those associated with early kidney and bone effects. Higher urine cadmium levels were linked to an increased prevalence of a biomarker for early kidney damage. The results support the need for measures to reduce environmental cadmium expos
