                                ABSTRACT
     This document tabulates detailed information for most of the origi-
nal measurements of cadmium in foods published since 1940 and summarizes
estimates of dietary intake of cadmium in the United States and foreign
countries.  Cadmium concentrations are indicated for about 1500 individual
foods listed alphabetically and by decreasing concentration within typical
food categories.  Separate compilations are provided for foods originat-
ing in contaminated and uncontaminated areas and for domestic and foreign
products.  Most foods contained low concentrations of cadmium, generally
less than 0.050 mg/kg, wet weight.  Concentrations of cadmium were great-
est in shellfish, leafy vegetables, potatoes, grain and cereal products,
and selected animal organs, particularly kidneys and liver.  The use of
cadmium-containing phosphate fertilizers increased the concentration of
cadmium in some, but not all, plant foods.  Diets chosen exclusively from
foods produced near point sources, or from highly contaminated soils, put
users at great risk of exceeding recommended intake levels.  No clear pat-
tern of concentration differences could be discerned in foods produced in
areas distant from point sources.  Although annual increases of cadmium in
successive crops of certain plant foods were documented, no temporal trend
of increasing cadmium concentrations in food is apparent in the tabulated
data, nor is there a perceptible increase in the cadmium content of foods
due to canning or other food-processing operations.  Estimates of dietary
intake of cadmium vary widely.  Based on the tabulated data, the average
daily U.S. dietary intake appears to lie within the range 30 to 50 yg.
This estimate is higher than values reported for several western European
countries, but is lower than some Japanese and Canadian values.  The esti-
mated U.S. daily dietary intake of 30 to 50 yg is 42% to 88% of the recom-
mended total tolerable limit of 400 to 500 ug per week and leaves little
room for intake from other environmental or occupational sources.  The
principal nondietary, environmental exposure to cadmium occurs through
tobacco smoking.  Excessive cigarette smoking can contribute as much, or
more, cadmium as dietary sources.  It thus appears entirely feasible for
residents of polluted areas or for urban dwellers who are habitual eaters
of cadmium-rich food and are heavy smokers to approach or exceed the recom-
mended total tolerable limit of 400 to 500 pg of cadmium per week.  Accord-
ingly, every reasonable effort should be made to limit further increases
of cadmium in the environment.  With respect to agricultural soils, such
a policy implies careful control of the use of fertilizers and sludges
that contain high concentrations of cadmium.  Recommended safety precau-
tions for farm soils containing hazardous levels of cadmium include immo-
bilizing cadmium in acid soils by addition of lime and selection of crops
known to absorb minimal amounts of cadmium.

                            1.  INTRODUCTION
      Cadmium is  one of  the rarer elements in nature, ranking 66th among
 those in  the earth's crust; nevertheless, it is widely distributed in
 continental  rocks, and  low concentrations of the element commonly occur
 in  air, soil, marine and fresh waters, and the biosphere (Fassett, 1975).

      Excessive accumulation of cadmium in man, either by acute intoxica-
 tion  or prolonged exposure to low concentrations, results in a variety
 of  maladies  ranging from gastroenteritis to renal tubular dysfunction
 (Buell, 1975; Perry et  al., 1976).  The acute toxic properties of cadmium
 were  first observed more than 100 years ago, but deleterious effects of
 chronic exposures to low concentrations of the element have been exten-
 sively documented only  during the last 30 years (Friberg, 1948; Friberg,
 1950;  Tsuchiya,  1969; Yamagata and Shigematsu, 1970; Fleischer et al.,
 1974;  Friberg et al., 1974; Friberg et al., 1977).

      It is now generally accepted that food constitutes the principal envi-
 ronmental source of cadmium for the nonsmoking human population (Fleischer
 et  al., 1974).   Dependable estimates of cadmium in individual foods and
 selected classes of foods are thus essential for reliable determinations of
 cadmium intake.  However, published values of the cadmium content may be
 influenced by plant type, soil conditions, type and amount of fertilizer,
 insecticide  or fungicide used, and the extent of contamination from exter-
 nal sources  (Allaway, 1968; Friberg et al., 1975).  Similarly, cadmium in
 foods  derived from animals may vary with animal type and tissues, food
 consumed by  the  animal, and extent of external contamination of the animal
 and its food.  In addition, published values of cadmium in food depend on
 sample preparation, analytical method, and expertise of the analyst.  Only
 rarely is all of the relevant information included when summaries of the
 cadmium content  of foods are published.  This document attempts to remedy
 this deficiency  by summarizing available information concerning the con-
 centration of cadmium in foods so that better estimates can be made of
 the daily human  intake  of cadmium in the United States.  Data are reported
 from most of the pertinent papers published since 1940.  The survey has
 been limited to  original measurements obtained under field conditions;
 pot studies  performed in greenhouses and research experiments involving
 deliberately added contaminants are not included.
                    2.  RATIONALE FOR DATA SELECTION
     The literature was surveyed extensively to locate papers describing
primary measurements of cadmium in foods.  Chemical Abstracts and Biolog-
ical Abstracts were manually searched for appropriate papers published
between 1940 and 1971, and 1940 to 1970, respectively.  Computerized data
bases were searched for recent literature.  These included:  Chemical-
Biological Activities (CBAC), from 1965; Abstracts on Health Effects of
Environmental Pollutants, from 1972; International Pharmaceutical Abstracts,
from 1970; the National Library of Medicine's Toxicity Bibliography, from

-------
 1968; Hayes File on Pesticides and Pesticides Abstracts,  from 1966;  Envi-
 ronmental Mutagen Information Center files,  from 1968;  Toxic Materials
 Information Center files, from 1971; Environmental Teratology Center files,
 from 1971 to 1974; Teratology files (TERA),  from 1971 to  1974;  Chemical
 Abstracts, odd issues,  from 1972;  Biological Abstracts, from 1971; Bio-
 Research Index, from 1971;  Government Records Abstracts,  from 1972;  Energy
 Data Base, from 1976; Nuclear Science Abstracts,  from 1967  to 1976;  Nation-
 al Technical Information Service,  from 1970; Agricola,  from 1970;  and Food
 Science and Technology Abstracts,  from 1969.

      Not all the data resulting from these searches were  included  in this
 report.  Many references, primarily descriptions  of analytical  techniques
 for determining cadmium in food, did not  adequately characterize the food
 samples.  Other publications,  particularly reviews, pooled  data from many
 sources without indicating  the basis on which the summaries were made.   In
 several studies the reported concentrations  were  systematically greater
 than well-established values for comparable  samples.   These abnormal data
 were considered to result from analytical difficulties  and  were not  in-
 cluded among the tabulated  values  (Van Loon, 1975).   In a few instances,
 potentially interesting data were  not included because  the  full text of
 the paper could not be obtained in time.  Despite these omissions, the var-
 ious tables contain a sufficient diversity of sample  types,  sample sources,
 analytical techniques,  and  analysts to ensure a reasonable  measure of con-
 fidence in the average  concentration of cadmium cited for each  food  type,
 as well as for the estimates of average intake.

      References excluded from  this review because of  suspected  analytical
 difficulties include Schroeder et  al.,  1967; Tipton and Stewart, 1970;
 Murthy et al.,  1971;  Rodriquez, 1973;  Chellapan et  al., 1976; and Kropf  and
 Geldmacher-v.  Mallinckrodt,  1968.   In the first three studies,  cadmium was
 determined by atomic absorption spectrometry before it was  generally known
 that sodium chloride biased  results obtained by this  technique.  Accord-
 ingly,  these investigators  did not eliminate this interference  from  process
 samples prior to analysis;  presumably,  abnormally high results  were  obtained
 as a consequence.   A cadmium extraction step is now considered  standard
 practice by experienced  analysts when similar samples are analyzed by atomic
 absorption spectrometry  (Friberg et al.,  1974, p. 5).  Rodriquez (1973)  and
 Chellapan et al.  (1976)  used instrumental neutron activation techniques  to
 determine cadmium in  typical Puerto Rican diets.  Their results exceed com-
 monly accepted  values by factors of six to ten, possibly  because of  unde-
 tected  interferences  or  calibration problems.  Whatever the  cause, the data
 require substantiation by a  different analytical  technique  and  independent
 analysts  before acceptance.  The data of  Kropf and  Geldmacher-v. Mallinckrodt
 (1968)  were  obtained  by  the  spectrographic method;  their  data average two
 to  six  times  generally accepted values.

      Hamilton and Minski (1973) estimated a  daily dietary intake of  64 +
 30  yg cadmium for U.K. citizens during  1966-1967.   This value is about
 twice that  found by the  Ministry of Agriculture,  Fisheries,  and Food  in
 1973  (Table  1).  The  estimate was  apparently obtained by  mass spectrometry
without benefit of relative  sensitivity corrections.  In  the absence  of

 tion,  and  in view  of  its substantial divergence from the well-established
 Ministry of  Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food estimate, the value was not
 included in  Table  1.
                         3.  CADMIUM IN FOODS
     The data on cadmium in foods are presented in tables which classify
the information according to sample origin (United States or foreign) and
extent of contamination of the soil in which the food originated (normal
or contaminated).  Two variations of each tabulation are shown, one with
entries ordered by decreasing concentration of cadmium within each food
category, the other with foods arranged alphabetically.

3.1  DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NOTATIONS

     Foods in each table are classified into broad food categories speci-
fied in the Total Diet Study program (Duggan and McFarland, 1967; Hopkins,
1975) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA):  dairy products; meat,
fish, and poultry; grain and cereal; potatoes; leafy vegetables; root veg-
etables; legume vegetables; garden fruits; fruits; oils, fats, and short-
ening; sugars and adjuncts; and beverages.  This system of classification
was chosen for convenience and to take advantage of the numerous, precise
FDA analyses which have been accumulated under these designations on a
continuing basis since 1967.  The individual foods comprising the 12
Total Diet Study categories are as follows:

     • Dairy products (category 1) — fresh,  evaporated, and nonfat
       milk; ice cream; cottage cheese;  processed cheese;  natural
       cheese;  butter; margarine

     • Meat, fish,  poultry (category 2)  — lamb or mutton;  roast
       beef; ground beef;  pork chops;  cured  pork sausage;  bacon;
       fresh or frozen eviscerated chicken;  fresh or frozen fish
       fillet;  canned tuna or salmon;  luncheon meat;  frankfurters;
       beef liver;  eggs

     • Grain and cereal (category 3) — general purpose and self-
       rising flour;  pancake mix;  corn flakes;  shredded wheat or

       corn meal;  elbow macaroni;  enriched and unenriched  white
       bread;  Italian-style bread;  whole wheat bread;  sweet rolls;
       doughnuts;  saltines;  plain cookies; frankfurter rolls;
       graham crackers;  pie crust;  cake;  raw,  canned,  and  frozen
       corn

     •  Potatoes  (category  4) — baked,  boiled,  and fried white
       potatoes;  potato chips;  fresh or  canned sweet  potatoes
       or yams

       collards, mustard  and spinach; frozen spinach; raw celery;
       raw and boiled  cabbage; fresh and frozen broccoli; fresh,
       frozen, and  canned asparagus; raw and canned mushrooms;
       raw and frozen  cauliflower

       salt; cider  vinegar

      • Beverages (category 12) — tea leaves; cocoa; drinking water;
       ground coffee;  soft drinks

      Literature data for  foods which do not fit any of the indicated Total
Diet  Study categories  were tabulated in a miscellaneous category labeled
Other.

      The method by  which  a food is processed may influence the amount of
cadmium contained in a sample and, hence, the amount ultimately reported
for that food type.  The  processing method for each tabulated food is
indicated  by a letter  or  symbol immediately following the food name.  R
denotes raw or fresh;  C,  canned; F, frozen; and [], not reported.  Other
methods of  preparation are denoted by 0 and are described more fully in
the comments column.

      Unless otherwise  noted, the mean concentration of cadmium is reported
as milligram or kilogram  of sample, wet weight.  This numerical value is
equivalent  to microgram per gram or parts per million.  Generally, the mean
was obtained by assigning a value of 0 to samples containing less than
detectable quantities  of  cadmium.  For cadmium, this procedure results in

-------
 only a very slight underestimation of the total daily intake (Mahaffey et
 al., 1975).  Means marked with an asterisk (*)  denote samples  associated
 with cadmium-containing phosphate fertilizer.   In some instances,  samples
 are oven-dried to a constant weight before analysis.   Such data are desig-
 nated by the notation, dry basis.  When available, the number  of samples
 and concentration range are also indicated.   In sample sets containing one
 or more assays below the limit of detection,  the lower limit of the range
 is usually given as the limit of detection of  the analytical method.   In
 certain instances when the limit of detection was unspecified,  the lower
 limit of the range is indicated as zero.

      The various analytical techniques used  to  determine  cadmium in foods
 are indicated in the tables by letter symbols.   Thus,  AAS denotes  atomic
 absorption spectrometry; ES, emission spectrometry; NT, neutron activation;
 MS, mass spectrometry; P,  electrochemical techniques  including  polarography
 and anodic stripping voltammetry; and Sp, spectrophotometry.   The  detection
 limit of the method in parts per million  is  recorded  immediately following
 the symbol for the analytical method.

      Since the cadmium content of foods may vary with  time as well as
 geographical region,  the place and date of sampling are recorded.   When
 appropriate, comments explaining or augmenting  the tabular data are in-
 cluded.   The last column also indicates the original literature source.
 Throughout the tables, absence of information in the original report is
 indicated by the use of brackets.

 3.2  TABULATED VALUES OF CADMIUM IN FOODS

      Measured values  of cadmium in U.S. and foreign foods are presented
 in Tables A.1-A.4 and A.5-A.8,  respectively.  Foods from  uncontaminated
 areas are listed by decreasing cadmium concentration in Tables  A.I and
 A.5,  and alphabetically by  food names  in  Tables  A.2 and A.6.  Similar
 data  for foods from contaminated areas are given in Tables  A.3  and A.7,
 and A.4  and A.8,  respectively.   (See Appendix for  Tables  A.1-A.8.)

 3.3  ANALYTICAL  SUMMARY OF  CADMIUM IN  FOODS DATA

      As  in  any large  compilation of analytical data from  diverse sources,
 instances of  conflicting analyses are  apparent in  the  tabulated data.
 Despite  these  irregularities,  however, the tabulated data  provide  a basis
 for several general conclusions.   Because  of its almost universal  presence
 in  soils, cadmium is  a common  constituent  of foods.  In most foods  the
 concentration  is  relatively  low,  less  than 0.050 mg/kg, wet weight.  Con-
 centrations are  greatest in  shellfish, leafy vegetables, potatoes,  grain
 and cereal  products,  and selected animal  organs, particularly the  kidney
 and the  liver.   Concentrations  are greater for some, but not all,  plant
 foods grown with  cadmium-containing phosphate fertilizers  and in soils
 containing  moderately higher-than-normal  levels of cadmium.  Foods  derived
 from plants grown near  point sources or in highly contaminated  soil gener-
 ally  contain high concentrations  of the element.  Point sources, such as
nonferrous metal  smelters, usually contaminate nearby  crops more severely
 than  the use of cadmium-containing phosphate fertilizers on crops  grown in

-------
otherwise unpolluted soil.  Nevertheless, the continued use of phosphate
fertilizers, especially cadmium-rich western rock phosphate and cadmium-
containing sludges, gives rise to serious concern about long-range cad-
mium buildup on agricultural soils.  Diets chosen exclusively from foods
produced in areas near point sources or in highly contaminated soils put
users at great risk of exceeding recommended intake levels; however, no
clear pattern of regional differences in concentration is apparent in
foods produced in areas distant from point sources.  Some observers have
reported annual increases of cadmium in successive crops of certain plant
foods, attributable to repeated or increased use of cadmium-containing
fertilizers (Kjellstrom et al., 1975).  This effect is not apparent in
the data summarized here, nor is there a discernable increase in the cad-
mium content of foods due to canning or other food-processing operations.
The latter observation supports a similar conclusion by Jelinek et al.
(1975).

     The concentration of cadmium in various categories of commercial
foods produced in the United States during the last decade may be esti-
mated from assays of Total Diet Study samples listed in Tables A.I and A.2.
Mean values of these composite samples, summarized in Table 2, indicate
that most food groups contain less than 0.03 mg of cadmium per kilogram,
wet weight.  The potatoes, leafy vegetables, and grain and cereal groups
usually contain greater concentrations than other groups, but even here
the average does not exceed 0.05 mg of cadmium per kilogram, wet weight.

      A somewhat wider range of concentrations  occurs  when  individual
 foods, rather than composite samples,  are  analyzed.   Typical values for
 selected U.S. foods from uncontaminated  areas  are  summarized in  Table  3.
 Analytical results from some types  of  foreign  foods from uncontaminated
 areas (identified by double asterisks) are included in  this table  to indi-
 cate the probable range of  cadmium  in  U.S.  food.   In  general,  the  concen-
 tration of cadmium in fresh milk is low, even  in areas  having  contaminated
 soils.  The high concentrations of  cadmium in  some human milk  samples may
 reflect excessive cigarette smoking.   Beef, pork,  lamb, and chicken flesh
 typically contain only low  concentrations  of cadmium, as do eviscerated
 freshwater and marine fish.   However,  diets rich in the kidneys  or livers
 of  these animals may contain excessive quantities  of  cadmium.  Habitual
 eaters of crabs,  oysters, and other shellfish  may  also  be  at risk.  In
 general,  fruits such as apples,  bananas, oranges,  and pineapples are low
 in  cadmium,  as are such vegetables  as beans, cucumbers, peas,  and  tomatoes.
 Leafy vegetables,  such as cabbage,  collards, lettuce, and  spinach  contain
 higher concentrations,  particularly in outer leaves.  Potatoes and grains,
 such as corn,  oats,  rice, and wheat, but not rye,  are also rich  sources
 of  dietary cadmium.

      In most foods the ranges of cadmium concentrations are narrow and
 reasonably consistent.   However,  surprisingly  high concentrations  are occa-
 sionally reported for drinking water and soft  drinks.   Nonpolluted natural
 waters usually contain less  than 1  yg cadmium  per  liter and regular drink-
 ing water  seldom exceeds 5  yg cadmium per  liter, yet, concentrations up
 to  16,000  yg/liter have been reported in some  samples of water and vending
 machine-dispensed  soft  drinks  (Friberg et  al., 1977).   These extreme values
 are usually  associated  with  circumstances  in which soft or acidulated water
 has been in  prolonged contact  with  galvanized  pipe or plumbing fittings
 attached with  cadmium-containing  solders.  In  domestic plumbing systems,
 leachable  cadmium  is  most likely  to concentrate in the  initial charge of
 water  removed  from the  system  each morning.  Prudence suggests that this
 cadmium-charged  tapwater be  routinely used for utilitarian, rather than
 dietary, purposes.
                 4.  ESTIMATED CADMIUM INTAKE FROM FOODS
     Cadmium intake from food depends on the concentration of the element
in the food and the amount of food ingested.  Estimates of intake may thus
be obtained by calculation if these factors are known, or by direct anal-
ysis of duplicate meals.  Both techniques yield concordant results when
applied with care.

4.2  ANALYTICAL SUMMARY OF CADMIUM INTAKE DATA
      Estimates of  cadmium intake from foods have been made by  investigators
in many  countries,  but  considerable uncertainty continues to exist  con-
cerning  even  the approximate  ranges of  these  data.   Part  of the difficulty
is inherent in the  problem, since  national and personal diet preferences
necessarily introduce a measure of variance into the data.  Other varia-
tions occur because of  differing premises among investigators.   Analytical
problems also contribute to data scatter.   As a consequence, literature
estimates of  intake vary from 10 to about 500 yg/day.  Probably the best
estimates of  intake from U.S.  foods are  those determined  annually by FDA
analysts from Total Diet Study samples  (Duggan et al., 1966; Hopkins, 1975).
Between  1968  and 1974 these estimated daily intakes  varied from 26  to 51
yg/day.   The  average for this period was  38 yg, with no apparent trend in

-------
                                   11
 the data.  The 1975 estimate (FY 1974 data), based on additional analyses
 of 41 individual foods, was 72 yg.  Based on the 1973 Total Diet Study,
 the various classes of food contributed the following amounts (yg/day) and
 percentages, respectively, of the total dietary intake of cadmium:  grain
 and cereal - 11.66 and 22.3; fruits - 9.38 and 18.3; potatoes - 9.11 and
 17.8; beverages — 6.49 and 12.7; dairy products — 3.94 and 7.7;  leafy veg-
 etables — 3.18 and 6.2; meat, fish, and poultry — 2.49 and 4.9;  garden
 fruits — 1.71 and 3.4; oil and fats — 1.36 and 2.7; root vegetables — 0.76
 and 1.5; sugars and adjuncts — 0.68 and 13.0; and legume vegetables — 0.42
 and 0.8 (Mahaffey et al., 1975).

     It should be noted that Total Diet Study results are based on the
 appetite of an 18- to 19-year-old male, an assumption which overstates the
 food consumption of a "normal" adult nearly twofold (Duggan and Lipscomb,
 1969).  The Total Diet Study estimates of intake thus represent an upper
 limit, though not necessarily a doubled measure, of intake of cadmium from
 food for adults under average U.S. conditions.  Considering these circum-
 stances, it appears reasonable to assume that the average daily U.S. die-
 tary intake probably lies within the range 30 to 50 yg.  This estimate is
 slightly lower than the 40 to 70 yg range suggested by Fulkerson (1975),
 who assumed an exceptionally high value of 20 yg/day from water, and con-
 siderably less than the 50 to 100 yg/day range cited by Sanjour (1974) .
 The estimate of 30 to 50 yg is somewhat higher than values reported for
 New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, and less than some Japanese
 and Canadian values (Table 1) but is consistent with observed concentra-
 tions of cadmium in the renal cortex and liver of normal humans in these
 countries (Friberg et al., 1974, pp. 62-63).  Our estimate of 30 to 50 yg
 is also consistent with results of Murphy et al. (1971) who measured an
 average of 13 yg of cadmium in 6000 duplicate lunches of 6th grade stud-
 ents in 1966.

     The estimated U.S. daily dietary intake of 30 to 50 yg of cadmium is
 42% to 88% of the recommended total tolerable limit of 400 to 500 yg/week
 (World Health Organization, 1972).  This margin of safety is small and
 leaves little room for intake from other environmental or occupational
 sources.  Ordinarily, inhalation of environmental air does not represent
 a significant fraction of the daily intake of individuals nonoccupation-
 ally exposed.  Even under adverse conditions, daily intake in this manner
 probably amounts to only 2 yg or less.  However, daily intake from tobacco
 smoking is likely to be more significant (Friberg et al., 1974, p. 21).
 Excessive cigarette smoking can contribute as much, or more, cadmium as
 dietary sources (Lewis et al., 1972; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
 1975, p. 5-21).  It thus appears entirely feasible for residents of pol-
 luted areas or for urban dwellers who are habitual eaters of cadmium-rich
 food and are heavy smokers to approach or exceed the recommended total
 tolerable limit of 400 to 500 yg of cadmium per week.  Accordingly, every
 reasonable effort should be made to limit, or even reduce, further addi-
 tions of cadmium to the environment.  With respect to cadmium in food, it
 appears these efforts should be directed toward minimizing the use of  fer-
 tilizers and sludges that contain high concentrations of cadmium on crop-
 lands.  When soils known to contain abnormal amounts of cadmium must be
used for food production, the soil pH should be maintained at 6.5 or above
 through regular applications of lime to immobilize the cadmium and minimize

-------
                                    12
 its uptake in plant products (Linnman et al.,  1973;  Keeney,  1976).   When
 feasible, polluted soils should be planted with crops known  to  absorb
 minimal amounts of cadmium (Singh et al.,  1975).

      It should be noted that the foregoing comments  were based  on averaged
 cadmium intake data.  Subsets of the sample group  may experience  intakes of
 cadmium considerably greater than averaged values.   Yost (1978) conducted
 dietary intake studies on the 15- to 20-year-old U.S. male population,
 based on the FY 1974 FDA Heavy Metals in Food  survey.  He estimated  that
 about 10% of the study population ingested more than 70 yg cadmium per  day
 from a single food.  These foods, together with estimates of the  consuming
 population,  are shown in Table 5.
                          5.   ANALYTICAL METHODS
     Although many methods have been developed for determining cadmium,
 the analysis of  this  element  in food poses  special problems, and only a
 limited  number of  techniques  are normally used.  The principal difficulty
 arises from the  very  low concentrations of  cadmium, often only a few parts
 per billion, characteristically occurring in most samples.  For such sam-
 ples the method  of analysis must be very sensitive if extensive preliminary
 concentration is to be  avoided.  The latter operation is usually labori-
 ous, time-consuming,  and susceptible to processing errors.  In addition,
 procedures  requiring  extensive preliminary  concentration of samples are
 unlikely to be considered practical when large numbers of samples must be
 analyzed.   In modern  practice, when many samples are involved, almost all
 investigators determine cadmium in foods by conventional atomic absorption
 spectrometry (AAS).   For the  small fraction of samples requiring greater
 sensitivity, flameless  atomic absorption spectrometry or an electrochemical
 method such as anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) is frequently chosen.
 Emission spectroscopy (ES), neutron activation analysis  (NT), and mass
 spectrometry (MS)  are not generally methods of choice, but are occasionally
 used because of  equipment availability.  Spectrophotometric colorimetry,
 formerly the standard method  of determining cadmium, is now rarely used
 because  processing procedures are lengthy and sensitivity is low compared
 with AAS.

     The principal features of the most important methods of determining
 cadmium are briefly described in the next subsections.

 5.1  ATOMIC ABSORPTION  SPECTROMETRY

     In this analytical method a previously prepared solution of the sample
 is injected into a flame  through which monochromatic light from a cadmium
 lamp is passed.   Usually  228.8 nm radiation is used.  The flame atomizes
 the sample and light  from the lamp is selectively absorbed by the cadmium
atoms as the latter are activated from the  ground energy state to a higher
 electronic energy state.  Absorption of the light is proportional to the
 concentration of cadmium in the injected sample.   A photodetector measures
 the intensity of the  radiation before and after passage through the flame;
the difference is often expressed directly  in concentration values.

      The usual detection limit reported for atomic absorption spectrometry
 is about 0.01 mg/kg (Fulkerson and Goeller, 1973,  p.  435)  but greater  sen-
 sitivity, comparable to the anodic stripping technique,  can be achieved
 if the cadmium in the original sample is treated with a  complexing agent
 and extracted into an appropriate organic solvent.

      The extraction step is mandatory for certain  types  of samples.  Early
 users of the atomic absorption technique believed  that the method was
 essentially free of interferences, but subsequent  investigators established
 that absorption of light was decreased by the presence of  phosphate in
 concentrations greater than 0.01 M, and increased  by  sodium chloride in
 concentrations greater than 0.01 M.  Consequently, allowance must be made
 for the effects of these impurities,  or the impurities must be removed
 from the sample,  if valid measurements are to be obtained.   The results
 of several extensive studies of cadmium in U.S.  foods are  questionable
 because of such interferences (Friberg et al., 1974,  p.  5).

      Conventional (flame) atomic absorption techniques normally convert
 less than 10% of  the sample cadmium to the atomic  state.   In some in-
 stances,  efficiency and sensitivity can be greatly improved by replacing
 the flame with a  carbon furnace,  graphite rod, or  tantalum ribbon on which
 the sample is sequentially dried,  ashed (if necessary),  and heated to  in-
 candescence.   However,  smoke or salt  particles produced  during the heating
 steps can cause scattering and attenuation of light intensities.   In addi-
 tion,  flameless techniques generally  produce an  absorbance  peak of rela-
 tively short  duration,  compared to the steady signal  obtained from a flame.
 Nevertheless,  direct analysis of cadmium at the  1  to  5 yg/kg level is  now
 feasible  for  some samples (Instrumentation for Environmental Monitoring —
 Biomedical, 1973,  p.  14;  Friberg et al.,  1977).  The  flameless atomic
 absorption technique may be used to analyze all  types of samples,  but  it
 is  probably most  effective for direct analysis of  solid  biological and
 environmental samples without prior processing.

 5.2  ANODIC STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRY

      Cadmium  can  be determined by  a variety of electrochemical techniques,
 most  of which may be  described as  variants  of the  older, well-known  polar-
 ograph method (Osteryoung and Osteryoung,  1972;  Shuman and  Woodward, 1972;
 Kopp, 1975) .  Of  these,  anodic stripping  voltammetry  appears  to be most
 sensitive.  In  the latter method cadmium  from the  sample is  electrodepos-
 ited under  controlled conditions into  a hanging  drop  of mercury or a thin-
 film mercury  electrode.   The  resulting  cadmium amalgam is then anodically
 stripped using  one of several  techniques  such as voltammetry with  constant
 linearly varying potential.   The amount of  current required  for stripping
 is  directly proportional  to the concentration of cadmium in  the initial
 sample.  Typical conditions for analysis  of  cadmium in foods include use
 of  an ammonia-ammonium chloride electrolyte with an electrodeposition  time
 of  10 min, a plating potential of -1.4 V, and a dissolution scan rate of
4 V/min to an anodic limit of -0.30 V  (Hundley and Warren,  1970).  Zinc and
 copper may interfere, but  their influence can be minimized or  eliminated
by  simple electrochemical  techniques.  The minimum sensitivity of  anodic
 stripping voltammetry is  determined by the reagent blank.  Under favorable

-------
                                   15
conditions solutions containing 1 ppb cadmium can be analyzed with an accu-
racy of about +10%  (Fulkerson and Goeller, 1973, p. 433).  Because of this
extraordinary sensitivity many samples can be analyzed without preconcen-
tration.  Anodic stripping voltammetry or closely related electrochemical
methods are  frequently the method of choice for that small fraction of food
samples in which the concentration of cadmium is too low to be analyzed
conveniently by the AAS technique (Ediger and Coleman, 1972; Cornell and
Pallansch, 1973; Gajan et al., 1973; Cunningham, 1975).

5.3  SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC COLORIMETRY

     Spectrophotometric colorimetry is based on measuring the amount of
monochromatic light absorbed by a specific molecular complex of cadmium.
Absorbed light is related to the metal concentration in the sample by
means of a previously obtained calibration plot.  Many different molecular
complexes can be used, but the most popular is the red cadmium dithizonate
which has maximum absorbance at 518 nm.  Spectrophotometric colorimetry
can be sensitive, specific, and accurate.  With care it can be used in
the low parts-per-billion range (Fulkerson and Goeller, 1973, p. 433).
However, despite these advantages, the method is both tedious and time-
consuming; consequently, it has been little used for determining cadmium
in foods since the introduction of AAS.

5.4  EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY

     In emission spectroscopy, prepared samples are excited with a flame,
arc, spark,  or plasma.  The resulting light is dispersed with a monochro-
mator and characteristic emission lines are recorded electronically or
photographically.  The concentration of each element is determined by
comparing the intensity of its emission line with that of an internal or
external standard.  For low concentrations of cadmium, such as occur in
most food samples, the 228.8 nm line is usually monitored.  With plasma
excitation the detection limit is near the parts-per-billion level (Kopp,
1975), but the sensitivity of earlier spectroscopic methods was much poorer
(Friberg et  al., 1974, p. 4).  Emission spectroscopy is often utilized
for multielement analyses, particularly for unprocessed solid samples,
because it determines many elements simultaneously, but since the devel-
opment of AAS, the method has only rarely been used to determine cadmium
in food.

5.5  NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS

     When food samples are irradiated in a nuclear reactor many of the
constituent nuclides absorb neutrons and form radioactive isotopes that
can be identified and quantified by instrumental analysis.  The amount of
radioactive isotope formed is proportional to the concentration and cross
section of the parent element and the flux of irradiating neutrons.  The
concentrations of the nonradioactive parent element and the radioactive
daughter nuclide are usually related by measuring the activities of stand-
ard samples irradiated simultaneously with the unknown.  For analysis of
cadmium, the most commonly used reaction is lli4Cd(n,Y) 115Cd.  Sodium and
chlorine cause serious interference and must be removed if they occur in

-------
                                   16


high  concentrations  (Kopp, 1975).  About 1 to 100 mg cadmium can be deter-
mined nondestructively  in matrices that do not activate significantly, but
sensitivities several orders of magnitude greater than this can be achieved
if cadmium is chemically separated from interfering activities (Fulkerson
and Goeller, 1973, p. 437).  All forms of neutron activation analysis are
more  time-consuming  and expensive than AAS; consequently, the technique
is rarely used to determine cadmium in foods.

5.6   MASS SPECTROMETRY

      Cadmium can be  determined by exciting a sample with a radio frequency
spark, followed by spectrometric measurement of the resulting cadmium ions
according to their mass.  This technique is applicable to virtually any
matrix, but the method is insensitive (^20 ppm) and only semiquantitative
(v30%) because of erratic emission of ions from such sources.  The sensi-
tivity and accuracy  can be greatly improved by use of the isotope dilution
technique in which isotopic ratios of the sample are measured before and
after addition of known quantities of isotopically enriched cadmium.  The
method requires complete equilibration of the added cadmium with that of
the original sample but quantitative extraction and recovery of the mixed
cadmium is unnecessary since only isotopic ratios need be measured.  Typ-
ically, the isotope dilution procedure has a sensitivity of about 1 ppb
and an accuracy of about +57a.  The procedure is more time-consuming and
expensive than AAS or ASV and is not often used to determine cadmium in
foods; however,  its use for monitoring faster and less expensive methods
has been recommended (Fleischer et al.,  1974).

16. ABSTRACT
       This study tabulated detailed  information for most of  the  original measure-
 ments of  cadmium in foods published since 1940 and summarizes estimates of dietary
 intake of cadmium in the United  States and foreign countries.   Cadmium concentrations
 are  indicated for about 1500  individual foods listed alphabetically and by decreas-
 ing  concentration within typical food categories.  Separate compilations are pro-
 vided for foods originating in contaminated and uncontaminated  areas and for
 domestic  and foreign products.   Most foods contained low concentrations of cadmium,
 generally less than 0.050 mg/kg,  wet weight.  Concentrations of cadmium were
 greatest  in shellfish, leafy  vegetables,  potatoes, grain and cereal products, and
 selected  animal organs, particularly kidneys and liver.  Based  on the tabulated
 data,  the average daily U.S.  dietary intake appears to lie  within the range 30
 to 50 ug.   This estimate is 42%  to  88% of the total tolerable linit of 400 to
 500  ug per week recommended by the  World  Health Organization, and leaves little
 room for  intake from other environmental  or occupational sources.
