Cadmium chloride (CdCl 2) as an environmental and industrial toxin has a significant detrimental effect on the testis (Nna et al., 2017). CdCl 2 is in the heavy metal group that is primarily released from colour pigments, TV screens, plating, battery manufacturing, plastics and fertilisers, and mining activities (Saini & Dhania, 2020). This combination enters the human body through contaminated food, drinking water and inhalation of air containing CdCl 2 particles or smoke containing CdCl 2 due to occupational exposure or air pollution caused by jungle fire (Rehman et al., 2018). Also, nutrition is the main source of absorption of CdCl 2. Vegetables and grains that grow in CdCl 2-contaminated soils or soils that are naturally high in CdCl 2 to be the main source of nonworking conditions exposure (Chunhabundit, 2016). Tobacco plants selectively absorb CdCl 2 from the soil and tobacco consumption increases the level of CdCl 2 in the human body. CdCl 2 can enter the lungs through tobacco smoke (Ganguly et al., 2018) and then circulate CdCl 2 throughout the body. In the liver, CdCl 2 with proteins forms a complex that is eventually secreted by the kidneys (Shirriff & Heikkila, 2017). CdCl 2 concentration in the blood of smokers is 4-5 times and in kidney 2-3 times higher than nonsmokers (Mannino et al., 2004; Mazur et al., 2018). The half-life of cadmium in the blood is estimated at 75-128 days, which means that CdCl 2 is deposited in organs including the liver, kidney and reproductive system and is not excreted from the body (Thompson & Bannigan, 2008). CdCl 2 causes hepatotoxicity (Almeer et al., 2018), nephrotoxicity (Sadek et al., 2017) hematotoxicity (Pagano et al., 2017), cardiotoxicity (Shrivastava et al., 2019) and skeletal muscle injury (Al-Sawafi et al., 2017). Epidemiological studies have shown that CdCl 2 has negative effects on sex hormone concentrations, sperm parameters and male infertility (Olaniyan et al., 2018). Cd with rupture
