Association of Blood Heavy Metal Levels and Renal Function in Korean Adults

Yoonjin Park et al.

Summary: This study investigates the association between the levels of heavy metals in the blood and renal function, providing important data for the prevention of renal failure. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between blood levels of lead, cadmium, and nickel and renal function. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between heavy metals and renal function.

Chronic Exposure to Lead and Cadmium in Residents Living near a Zinc Smelter

HyeJeong Jo et al.

Summary: This study found that residents living near a zinc smelter in South Korea had higher blood lead and urinary cadmium levels compared to those living further away. Factors such as male sex, older age, previous work at the smelter, smoking, and proximity to the smelter were associated with higher blood lead levels. On the other hand, urinary cadmium concentration was significantly higher in women, older individuals, those with experience of working in a zinc smelter or mine, those living near the zinc smelter, and those who consumed locally grown vegetables.
