Ronald Wester and colleagues applied cadmium-109 chloride to human cadaver skin in vitro, from water and from soil, for 16 hours. Columns in this copy are interleaved, so percent-of-dose cells are not transcribed. A sentence that appears to state a drinking-water figure in picograms per litre is treated as a damaged microgram sign and is not recorded as a limit.
Key numbers
Water was prepared at 116 ppb cadmium. Soil from Yolo County was prepared at 13 ppb. The abstract discusses daily whole-body exposure at 116 ppb with 0.5% absorption, but the systemic-intake clause is broken across columns and is not given a number here.
Methods (brief)
Human cadaver skin, cadmium-109, 16-hour in vitro exposure, water and soil vehicles.
Evidence fitness
The applied concentrations are usable as the experimental doses. Absorption percentages from this scan are not.
Limitations
Columns in this copy are interleaved, so the absorption table is not transcribed.
