title: Investigation on the carcinogenic effects of various cadmium compounds after inhalation exposure in hamsters and mice.
abstract: The inhalation of cadmium chloride aerosols induced lung carcinomas in rats (3). Subsequently, CdCl2 was classified as probably carcinogenic in humans (2). Thus the Cd compounds CdCl2, CdSO4, CdS and CdO were investigated for their carcinogenic potencies in the lungs of hamsters and mice. The same experiment was conducted by GLASER et al. with rats (1).
