    Cadmium is a highly toxic carcinogen that can be inhaled or ingested. It is classified as a carcinogen and one of the highest sources is cigarettes. Cadmium exposure can lead to both acute and chronic health effects. Acute effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea while chronic effects impact the kidneys, lungs, cardiovascular system, bones, and nervous system. It is highly toxic because the body has no effective way to regulate or remove cadmium.
