Behavioral Teratogenesis Resulting from Early Cadmium Exposure

  • Chapter
Handbook of Behavioral Teratology

Abstract

Cadmium is a pollutant of considerable concern, not only in the industrial setting, but also in the environment. In addition to the acute and chronic toxicities associated with its use in industrial and manufacturing processes, cadmium (Cd), because of its exceptional ability to accumulate in living organisms, also represents an increasing hazard for the population in general.
