Summary

Cadmium concentrations of 4·10−3 to 8.8 and <2·10−3 to 1.2 ug/g fresh weight of tissue were found in kidney and liver respectively of 41 children and juveniles by means of neutron activation analysis. Cadmium was detectable even in newborns. The cadmium concentration increased 200-fold during the first 3 years of life. The cause and meaning of this striking increase are not yet clear.

Zusammenfassung

Bei 41 Kindern und Jugendlichen wurden durch Neutronen-Aktivierungsanalyse Cadmium-Konzentrationen in den Nieren von 4·10−3 bis 8,8 und in Lebern von <2·10−3 bis 1,2 μg/g Frischgewicht gefunden.

Bereits bei Neugeborenen war Cadmium nachweisbar; die Cadmium-Konzentration stieg während der ersten drei Lebensjahre auf das 200fache. Ursache und Bedeutung dieses auffälligen Anstieges sind noch nicht zu überblicken.
