Definition of cadmium in English:

cadmium

noun ˈkadmɪəmˈkædmiəm

mass noun

The chemical element of atomic number 48, a silvery-white metal.
Cadmium occurs naturally in zinc ores and is obtained as a by-product of zinc smelting. It is used as a component in alloys with a low melting point and as a corrosion-resistant coating on other metals
Example sentencesExamples
- Similarly, small amounts of the toxic trace metal cadmium can promote plant growth
- In addition to mercury and lead, the other heavy metals commonly used by auto makers are cadmium and hexavalent chromium.
- Finally, vitamin C can help rid the body of heavy metal toxins, including mercury, lead, cadmium and nickel.
- Unknown quantities of mercury, lead, chromium and cadmium are also on board.
- The principal pollutants are lead, cadmium, zinc, iron and manganese.
- High levels of zinc, cadmium, and barium have also been consistently found in residential soils close by the plant.
- And with toxic metals like cadmium, mercury and lead, it's the same story.
- For example, many metals, like cadmium, lead, and mercury are toxic to humans and are mutagenic and carcinogenic.
- Crabs, for example, when examined, show up to 20 times the normal levels of carcinogenic metals such as cadmium and cobalt.
- But motor oil wears out and gets dirty, soaking up toxic heavy metals like lead and cadmium, and so it must be changed.
- Other heavy metals, such as cadmium, were not recognized as poisonous until the early nineteenth century.
- The use of chlorophyll fluorescence to study effects of cadmium, copper, and mercury on photosynthesis has been recently reviewed.
- These elements include mercury, bromine, cadmium, indium, thallium, lead, and bismuth.
- A final stress condition that was characterized was exposure to the heavy metal cadmium.
- New processing methods are outlined from which potassium, sodium, barium, strontium and cadmium were discovered.
- Computers contain chemicals such as brominated flame retardants and heavy metals like lead and cadmium.
- Exposure to toxic metals such as cadmium or lead can result in an alteration in peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones.
- Selenium appears to antagonize cadmium, especially in acute exposures.
- The thermal and electrical conductivity of copper are relatively unaffected by small amounts of either silver or cadmium.
- When waste oils are burned in incinerators, toxic metals such as nickel, vanadium and cadmium get ensnared in the particles given off into the atmosphere.

Origin

Early 19th century: from Latin cadmia 'calamine', so named because it is found with calamine in zinc ore. Compare with calamine.
