Abstract: Cadmium is a heavy metal of considerable toxicity with destructive impact on most organ systems. It is widely distributed in humans, the chief sources of contamination being cigarette smoke, welding, and contaminated food and beverages. Toxic impacts are discussed and appear to be proportional to body burden of cadmium. Detoxification of cadmium with EDTA and other chelators is possible and has been shown to be therapeutically beneficial in humans and animals when done using established protocols.

Remediation of cadmium-contaminated soil: GLDA-assisted extraction and sequential FeCl3–CaO-based post-stabilization
Shengbin Ni,Shafiqur Rahman,Yasuhiro Harada,Shoji Yoshioka,Asami S. Mashio,Akio Ohta,Hiroshi Hasegawa +6 more
TL;DR: This study evaluates the efficacy of biodegradable chelators (GLDA, MGDA, HIDS) for remediating Cd-contaminated soil, finding GLDA comparable to EDTA in Cd extraction, with optimized conditions yielding a higher extraction rate and a post-stabilization process reducing leachable Cd content.

TL;DR: It was seen that increased egg numbers did not cause a statistically significant increase or decrease in Saanens except for cadmium, and the effect of parasite load, which continuously increases with the progression of pregnancy and deliveries, on blood mineral levels would be much more significant.

Composition of the Continental Crust
Roberta L. Rudnick,Shan Gao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the present-day composition of the continental crust, the methods employed to derive these estimates, and the implications of continental crust composition for the formation of the continents, Earth differentiation, and its geochemical inventories are discussed.
The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.
