Cadmium is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with common exposure in industrial workplaces, plant soils, and from smoking. Due to its low permissible exposure to humans, overexposure may occur even in situations where trace quantities of cadmium are found.

Cadmium is also found in some industrial paints and may represent a hazard when sprayed. Operations involving re
