Bioaccessibility as a determining factor in the bioavailability and toxicokinetics of cadmium compounds

•Cadmium toxicity arises from the bioavailability and bioaccumulation of Cd2+ ions.•Different cadmium compounds show different levels of bioavailability.•Ion availability for absorption is determined by its release in biological fluids.•This release (bioaccessibility) can be measured and used to inf...
