Abstract
Together with zinc and mercury, cadmium belongs to group IIb of the periodic table. It can be found in rocks, soil, water, coal, zinc ore, lead ore, and copper ore. In the environment, cadmium is present predominantly as the oxide or as the chloride, sulfide, or sulfate salt. It has no recognizable taste or odor. Cadmium sulfide, carbonate, and oxide salts are practically insoluble in water, whereas the sulfate, nitrate, and halides are soluble in water.
