“…A large amount of data from 35 stations gave an average airborne Cd concentration (145) of 0.002 ,ug/m3. There was considerable variation, and Kneip et al (27) found higher levels in urban air than in suburban air. For example, lower Manhattan averaged 0.023 /ig/m8 while suburban areas were 0.003 /ig/ms.…”

“…(l7JO) The levels in air vary from 0.001 pg/m3 in rural areas to 0.060 pg/m3 in urban areas. (21) The U.S. EPA is charged with the protection of the drinking water supplies. To this end, standards have been established for many contaminants, and these are revised as more data become available.…”

Male and female Sprague-Dawley-derived rats received CdClz by gavage at doses of 25, 51, 107, and 225 mg CdCI, per kg body weight per day for 1 or 10 consecutive days or in drinking solutions at concentrations of 13-323 mg CdClz per liter for 10 consecutive days. There were appropriate controls. In the 1 day study in males only, an apparent treatment-related but not statistically significant decrease in body weight was reported; spleen weights and ratios were significantly lower and lung weights and ratios were significantly higher (in the highest dose only). Dose-dependent mortality was observed in the 10 day gavage study. Body weight gain was depressed in a dose-dependent manner in both males and females. Weights and/or ratios of brain, liver, spleen, lungs, thymus, kidneys, and testes of treated males were depressed in a dose-dependent manner. In females, weights and/or ratios of liver, spleen, thymus, and kidneys were depressed in a dose-dependent manner. Focal necrotic changes in renal tubular epithelium and tubular degeneration were reported in males and females. Testicular and hepatic histopathologic changes (testicular atrophy and necrosis and hepatic necrosis) were also reported in males. In the drinking water study, males demonstrated dose-dependent decreases in body weight gain and weight and/or ratios of liver, spleen, thymus, and kidneys. There were no significant compound-related effects in females, although liver weights and ratios were lower. There were no compound-related histopathologic effects.

“…The total U.S. production is estimated at less than 15 million pounds (155 Both urban-rural and seasonal differences in airborne concentrations exist: urban areas have the highest Ni concentrations during fall and winter months (159). Airborne Ni particulate concentrations in New York showed a significant correlation between Ni content and such variables as air tenperature, atmospheric stability and vanadium content (160). Although it appears that about half of the atmospheric nickel is associated with fine particulates, data on particle size are limited.…”

“…It has been estimated that 14.8 million liters of fuel oil are used annually in Manhattan, New York, and allowing a Ni content of 10 ppm, an emission rate of 25%, the daily release rate of Ni into the atmosphere could be 156 kg daily during the cold winter months (153,156). Another potentially important source of nickel is consumption of diesel oil, which can contain 2 ppm nickel; particulates from diesel oil exhausts contain from 500 to 10,000 ppm nickel (160). Hence, there is an appreciable amount of atmospheric nickel independent of metallurgical processing particularly in urban areas.…”

Sources, Transport and Alterations of Metal Compounds: An Overview. I. Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Chromium, and Nickel

An overview is presented of the current state of knowledge of the salient aspects of the sources, transport, and alterations of arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. This information is considered vital for a better assessment of the scope of potential human hazard to these ubiquitous toxicants and their compounds. Stress is focused on both natural and industrial activities, particularly on the latter's projected trends. Increasing use patterns per se of most of these metals, as well as aspects of waste disposal and the anticipated increased combustion of fossil fuels for power generation and space heating (particularly in the United States), are major causes of potential health concern. Additionally, attention is drawn to the need for increased research to fill the gaps in our knowledge in these vital areas, all in the hope of permitting a more facile identification and quantification of the potential hazard to exposure to these agents.
