| DesignNote |
A silvery-white, malleable, ductile, bivalent, inorganic metallic element that forms toxic cadmium oxide fumes when heated. Cadmium is used in batteries, pigments, alloys, electroplating and coating, and is used as a stabilizer for plastics. Exposure to cadmium affects the lungs and kidneys and is associated with an increased risk of developing lung cancer. (NCI05)
