The influence of cadmium to living organisms

The aim of this study was to summarize findings about the role of cadmium in the environment. The study includes information about the properties and effects of cadmium on the environment, transport between the different components of the environment and describes natural and anthropogenic sources of cadmium. Furthermore, this work describes the effect of cadmium on the human body and shows its toxicity. The methods of cadmium determination are also summarized in the scope of this work.
