[Reduced level of cadmium in the renal cortex. Due to less smoking or environmental improvement?].
A cross-sectional study of the renal cortex cadmium concentrations in 171 cases of sudden death showed the levels to be lower than those quoted m a Swedish report published in 1976 the reduction being more than 50 per cent among the < or = 40-year-old age group. The reduction is probably attributable to reduced smoking among. Swedes during the past few decades, though there were indications of reduced cadmium levels in non-smoking as well.
