Cadmium Toxicity: Where is Cadmium Found?

Cadmium concentrations in drinking water supplies are typically less than 1 microgram per liter (μg/L) or 1 part per billion (ppb) (ATSDR 1999). Groundwater seldom contains high levels of cadmium unless it is contaminated by mining or industrial wastewater, or seepage from hazardous waste sites.

Cadmium in soils and groundwater: A review - ScienceDirect

2019-9-1  Cadmium pollution of soil and groundwater is a worldwide problem that affects resources for food and drinking water mainly in Asia and Africa. Further efforts to clean waste water, inhibit leachate of contaminated material, e.g., in landfills and mines, and reduce use of Cd contaminated phosphate fertilizers are necessary to decrease ...

Bioavailability of Cadmium in Food and Water: A Case

2014-2-14  RfDs for cadmium in food and drinking water have been derived based on the assumption that the bioavailability of cadmium in water is greater than that from food by a factor of 2 (i.e., 5% vs 2.5%, respectively) (U.S. EPA, 1994). Separate RfDs for manganese in food and drinking water have also been derived (U.S. EP A, 1994).
