Blood Cadmium Levels

Objectives. The main objective of this study was to assess the cadmium and lead exposure levels in subject workers that work in sanitary landfill areas in southern Thailand. The study evaluated the blood cadmium and lead levels in terms of their possible role in worker contamination and transfer of cadmium and lead to the body.Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 114 subjects. Whole blood samples were collected to determine cadmium and lead levels by graphite furnaces atomic absorption spectrometer chromium analyzer.Results and Discussion. The mean blood cadmium levels and blood lead levels of subjects workers were2.95±0.58 μg/L (range 1.58–7.03 μg/L) and8.58±2.58 μg/dL (range 1.98–11.12 μg/dL), respectively. Gender, income, smoked cigarettes, work position, duration of work, personal protective equipment (PPE), and personal hygiene were significantly associated with blood cadmium level and blood lead levels (p<0.001andp<0.001). A multiple regression model was constructed. Significant predictors of blood cadmium levels and blood lead levels included smoked cigarettes, hours worked per day, days worked per week, duration of work (years), work position, use of PPE (mask and gloves), and personal hygiene behavior (ate snacks or drank water at work and washed hands before lunch).Conclusion. The elevated body burden of toxic metals in the solid waste exposure of subject workers is an indication of occupational metal toxicity associated with personal hygiene practices.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the combined effects of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) on testosterone level in men. Design and Method: The heavy metal dataset of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) IV and V (2008 - 2012) was analyzed. Results: The serum testosterone level was significantly associated with the logtransformed blood Cd and Pb levels. For the highest quartile of Cd and Pb, the odds ratio (OR) of the risk of low serum testosterone level compared with the lowest quartile was 6.890 (Cd, 95% CI: 4.59-10.70) and 3.117 (Pb, 95% CI: 2.03-4.39) after adjusting for confounders (age, body mass index, smoking status, diabetes and alcohol intake), respectively. The adjusted OR of the risk of low serum testosterone level in the 4th quartile of both Cd and Pb was 13.7 (95% CI: 9.0-19.5) compared with the reference group (1st and 2nd quartile of Cd and Pb). Conclusions: This study is the most comprehensive investigation to date regarding the association between heavy metals and sex hormones in males.
