“…When the levels of blood, urine, and hair cadniua were exavinrd In industrial workers in relation to body burden, only narginal correlations were found (24,36,42). This indicates that in the industrial environment, these biological indices may aore correctly reflect exposure conditions than body burden.…”

“…Total body potassium, nitrogen and carbon are used to estimate the total body cell mass, protein and fat, respectively (Sutcliffe 1996). Less frequent elements (trace elements) such as lead, cadmium, mercury and iodine can be measured in vivo by x-ray fluorescence analysis (Börjesson and Mattsson 2004) and in the case of cadmium also by neutron activation analysis (Krauel et al 1980).…”

This review is focused on experimental methods for determination of the composition of the human body, its organs and tissues. It summarizes the development and current status of fat determinations from body density, total body water determinations through the dilution technique, whole and partial body potassium measurements for body cell mass estimates, in vivo neutron activation analysis for body protein measurements, dual-energy absorptiometry (DEXA), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, fMRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) for body composition studies on tissue and organ levels, as well as single- and multiple-frequency bioimpedance (BIA) and anthropometry as simple easily available methods. Methods for trace element analysis in vivo are also described. Using this wide range of measurement methods, together with gradually improved body composition models, it is now possible to quantify a number of body components and follow their changes in health and disease.

This contribution responds to the recent paper of Thun et al. (American Journal of Industrial Medicine 20:629-642, 1991) on an occupational standard for cadmium. The contribution of non-invasive in situ measurements of cadmium in liver and in kidney to the study of cadmium industrial toxicology is particularly reviewed. It is contended that clear scientific grounds do not exist for recommending cadmium in air occupational standard below 10 micrograms m-3, and that other arguments would need to be adduced to support a recommendation for a lower level. Last, a number of unanswered questions are identified and the need for further work is highlighted.
