[Kinetics of the pulmonary clearance of inhaled cadmium and its accumulation in rat liver and kidneys].
Pulmonary clearance rate of cadmium (Cd), inhaled in the form of an aerosol of Cd acetate, is very slow (half-life 53 days). However, results demonstrate that an important part of Cd cleared from the lung is recovered in liver and kidney. Liver binds this metal rapidly but to a limited extent, whereas renal accumulation is slow but continuous throughout the three months following exposure.
