Transfer of cadmium from a sandy acidic soil to man: A population study

摘要: This population study included 230 subjects (age range 20–83 years) who consumed vegetables grown in kitchen gardens on a sandy acidic soil (mean pH ∼6.3). The investigated the association between Cd (cadmium) levels blood and urine concentration (range 0.2–44 ppm). Seventy-six were current smokers 122 participants lived district with known pollution. Urinary averaged 8.7 nmole/24 hr, 1.3 to 47 hr) after age adjustment positively correlated level soil; twofold increase of was accompanied by 7% rise urinary men (R2 = 0.05; P 0.04) 4% women 0.02; 0.05). Blood 11.5 nmole/liter 1.8–41 nmole/liter) negatively associated soil. After for significant covariates (smoking serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase both sexes, ferritin women), 6% decrease 0.03; 0.09) 10% 0.06;
