    Author: Scott R, Paterson PJ, Mills EA, McKirdy A, Fell GS, Ottoway JM, Husain FE, Fitzgerald-Finch OP, Yates AJ, Lamont A, Roxburgh S.
    Journal: Lancet; 1976 Aug 21; 2(7982):396-8. PubMed ID: 73855.
    Abstract:
    5(18.5%) of a group 27 coppersmiths exposed to cadmium fume had stone disease. When compared with a control group of assembly workers in the same factory they had evidence of renal impairment as shown by blood biochemistry and proteinuria. A greater tendency to liver damage was found in the coppersmiths. There was evidence that restrictive airways disease was more common in the coppersmiths than in the control group. Blood-cadmium concentrations were significantly higher in the coppersmiths and in the assembly workers than in a reference population.
