Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant and categorized as a human carcinogen, which has a tendency to accumulate in the human body. The level of Cd in renal cortex and liver are good indicators as an index of Cd exposure in general population. Geometric mean concentration of Cd is 27.4 and 3.1 /g wet weight in renal cortex and liver, respectively, in Korean. Cd is toxic to a number of tissues, notably the liver, kidney, testis, lung, lymphoid tissue and lung. (omitted)
