The study covered 240 male and female workers exposed to cadmium oxide and nickel hydroxide dust in a Swedish battery factory. The control group comprised 87 unexposed males. Air samples from the plant showed the present exposure level to be about 50 μg Cd/m3air. Cadmium-induced effects were studied by measuring urinaryβ2-microglobulin excretion. Urinaryβ2-microglobulin concentration followed a log-normal distribution in the reference group with a geometric mean of 84 μg/liter (adjusted to a specific gravity of 1.023). In the group of 185 persons continuously exposed to cadmium dust in the work environment, the prevalence of increased urinaryβ2-microglobulin excretion increased with employment time. The prevalence was 19% for the workers with 6–12 years of exposure to about 50 μg Cd/m3as compared to 3% for those in the reference group. Smokers had about three times higher prevalence than nonsmokers.
