Assaying Cadmium Determination Methods

Assaying Cadmium Determination Methods. Cadmium occurs in nature as cadmium sulphide in greenockite, CdS, which is very rare. It is widely diffused in calamine, blende, and other zinc ores, forming, in some cases, as much as 2 or 3 per cent, of the ore. Oxide of cadmium forms the " brown blaze " of the zinc smelters.

Chapter 6.3 Cadmium - World Health Organization

Cadmium in food comes to a large extent from atmospheric cadmium as a result of foliar absorption or root uptake of cadmium deposited on soils. Foliar absorption is determined by dry or wet deposition rates of cadmium and uptake of cadmium by plants from soils is primarily controlled by the concentration of cadmium in soil solution.
