title: The impact of succimer chelation on blood cadmium in children with background exposures: a randomized trial.
abstract: Succimer lowers blood lead concentrations in children, and the structure of succimer chelates of lead and cadmium are similar. Using blood samples from a randomized trial of succimer for lead poisoning, however, we found that succimer did not lower blood cadmium in children with background exposure.
