HomeSCOEL/OPIN/336 cadmium and its inorganic compounds
Opinion from the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits
Metadatos de publicación
In exposed workers, inhalation is the main route of exposure. Additional uptake can occur through the consumption of contaminated food and/or tobacco smoking. IARC considers Cd and Cd compounds to be carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1), based on sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of cadmium and cadmium compounds. Cadmium and cadmium compounds cause cancer of the lung. Also, positive associations have been observed between exposure to cadmium and cadmium compounds and cancer of the kidney and of the prostate, whilst there is also sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of cadmium compounds (IARC 2012).
