Transfer of cadmium from a sandy acidic soil to man: A population study

This population study included 230 subjects (age range 20–83 years) who consumed vegetables grown in kitchen gardens on a sandy acidic soil (mean pH ∼6.3). The study investigated the association between the Cd (cadmium) levels in blood and urine and the Cd concentration in the soil (range 0.2–44 ppm...

description This population study included 230 subjects (age range 20–83 years) who consumed vegetables grown in kitchen gardens on a sandy acidic soil (mean pH ∼6.3). The study investigated the association between the Cd (cadmium) levels in blood and urine and the Cd concentration in the soil (range 0.2–44 ppm). Seventy-six subjects were current smokers and 122 participants lived in a district with known Cd pollution. Urinary Cd in the 230 subjects averaged 8.7 nmole/24 hr, (range 1.3 to 47 nmole/24 hr) after age adjustment positively correlated with the Cd level in the soil; a twofold increase of the Cd concentration in the soil was accompanied by a 7% rise in urinary Cd in men ( R 2 = 0.05; P = 0.04) and by a 4% rise in women ( R 2 = 0.02; P = 0.05). Blood Cd averaged 11.5 nmole/liter (range 1.8–41 nmole/liter) and was negatively associated with the Cd level in the soil. After adjustment for significant covariates (smoking and serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase in both sexes, and age and serum ferritin in women), a twofold increase in the Cd concentration in the soil was accompanied by a 6% decrease in blood Cd in men ( R 2 = 0.03; P = 0.09) and by a 10% decrease in women ( R 2 = 0.06; P < 0.01). In conclusion, in a rural population, consuming vegetables grown on a sandy acidic soil, 2 to 4% of the variance of urinary Cd was directly related to the Cd level in the soil. The negative correlation with blood Cd, a measure of more recent exposure, was biased by the implementation of preventive measures in the polluted district.
