Cadmium (Cd) is an environmentally widespread toxic heavy metal with adverse effects on human health. Exposure to Cd is almost unavoidable in the modern-day world, and humans are most commonly exposed to Cd via contaminated food and drinking water, occupational inhalation, and cigarette smoking. Cellular senescence is characterized by the …
اقرأ المزيدIncreased cadmium (Cd) accumulation in soils has led to tremendous environmental problems, with pronounced effects on agricultural productivity. Present study investigated the effects of Cd stress imposed at various concentrations (0, 75, 150, 225, 300, 375 μM) on antioxidant activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Cd accumulation, …
اقرأ المزيدCadmium (Cd), a naturally occurring heavy metal, has garnered significant attention due to its widespread presence in the environment and potential adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of …
اقرأ المزيدCadmium (Cd) has been listed as one of the most toxic substances affecting numerous tissues/organs, including the immune system. Due to variations in studies examining Cd effects on the immune system (exposure regime, experimental systems, immune endpoint measured), data on Cd immunotoxicity in humans and experimental animals are …
اقرأ المزيدThe effect of Zn on Cd accumulation in rice varies under flooding and drainage conditions, and the underlying mechanism during uptake and transport from the soil to grains remains unclear. Isotope fractionation and gene expression were investigated using pot experiments under distinct water regimes and with Zn addition to gain a deeper …
اقرأ المزيدOverview . Cadmium exerts toxic effects on the kidney, the skeletal system and the respiratory system and is classified as a human carcinogen. It is generally present in the environment at low levels; however, human activity has greatly increased levels in environmental media relevant to population exposure.
اقرأ المزيدCadmium poisoning has been reported from many parts of the world. It is one of the global health problems that affect many organs and in some cases it can cause deaths annually. Long-term exposure to cadmium through air, water, soil, and food leads to cancer and organ system toxicity such as skeleta …
اقرأ المزيدIt is demonstrated that a high Zn supply promotes Cd uptake and root-to-shoot transport in rice by sharing distinct pathways, and by utilizing a non-Zn-sensitive pathway with a high affinity for Cd. The effect of Zn on Cd accumulation in rice varies under flooding and drainage conditions, and the underlying mechanism during uptake and transport from …
اقرأ المزيدMany enzymes are involved in the detoxifying the cadmium and make the membrane impermeable against cadmium. This paper also reviews the industrial application of cadmium-resistant bacteria and the future perspectives of genetic engineering, bioelectrochemical system, microbial aggregates and biosorption of …
اقرأ المزيدHigh concentrations of cadmium in soils represent a potential threat to human health because it is incorporated in the food chain mainly by plant uptake. The behaviour of cadmium in soils depends on several factors related to both soil and plant characteristics. This paper provides an overview of such factors as well as of the most …
اقرأ المزيدCadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that has received considerable concern environmentally and occupationally. Cd has a long biological half-life mainly due to its low rate of excretion from the body. Thus, prolonged exposure to Cd will cause toxic effect due to its accumulation over time in a variety of …
اقرأ المزيدThe scope and breadth of cadmium usage and its range of applications is so pervasive that it is extremely difficult for any one acquisition project or Service to implement an alternative coating system. Cadmium is also used in many weapons-critical applications, which require functional performance unique to defense and space systems.
اقرأ المزيدCadmium (Cd) is a trace element of great interest due to its mobility in the soil-plant-water system and the potential toxicity for humans. The main anthropogenic Cd inputs into the soil are industrial and mining wastes, as well as agricultural applications of phosphorus fertilizers, organic materials, and wastewater. In the long term, Cd can …
اقرأ المزيدCadmium has long been recognized as an environmental contaminant that poses risks to human health. Cadmium is of concern since nearly everyone in the general population is exposed to the metal through the food supply and the ability of the element to ...
اقرأ المزيدBackground Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential toxic heavy metal, an environmental toxicant, and toxic at a low concentration, and it has no known beneficial role in the human body. Its exposure induces various health impairments including hostile reproductive health. Objective The present review discus …
اقرأ المزيدOur services include conference proceedings, on-site audio recording, audio synchronization with presentation slides, abstract collection systems, speaker data collection, review tools, poster galleries, online itinerary planners, exhibitor management tools, and conference education apps.
اقرأ المزيدWhile cadmium intake in small amounts has negligible effects and doesn't result in any noticeable symptoms, moderate to high amounts of cadmium—which can be revealed through heavy metal testing—can cause some severe health issues. Keep reading to discover more about the causes and symptoms of cadmium poisoning below.
