Objectives : To estimate the normal range of blood and urine
cadmium levels using data from occupationally non-exposed
office workers to cadmium in selected Korean women.
Methods : A total of 437 women from healthy office
workers were analyzed. To analyze blood and urine cadmium
levels, blood and urine samples of study subjects were collected
carefully and analyzed. Using a structured questionnaire,
characteristics of the study subjects were investigated by well
trained interviewers.
Results : Mean blood cadmium concentration (CdB) was
0.46 ㎍/ℓ (GM; 0.16), whereas mean urine cadmium
concentration (CdU) was 0.94 ㎍/g creatinine (GM; 0.37). A
significant increase of cadmium levels in blood and urine was
observed by the rise of age (p=0.007; p=0.002, respectively). In
the analysis of smoking state, blood and urine cadmium levels
were higher in current smokers than in nonsmokers. In the
multiple regression analysis, the rise of age and currently
smoking were observed as a significant factor associated with
cadmium level.
Conclusion : These findings suggest that mean cadmium
level in blood and urine indicated a relatively low level,
although the rise of age and currently smoking were observed as
a significant factor related to cadmium level. It can be used for
the basic data to prevent harmful effects of cadmium exposure
among female workers occupationally exposed to cadmium.
