Cadmium can be absorbed greatly 0.5% through the skin so cadmium
exposure is concerned some cases that expose cadmium at high concentration via the

absorption of cadmium is not important like via inhalation and ingestion, some
cadmium compound can cause irritate to the skin (Sittig, 1985).
Chronic effect in long term exposure to cadmium directly cause the kidney
damage (WHO, 1992), but there is not know the information and health effect of skin
contact with cadmium in humans or animals (ATSDR, 1999).
