· Cadmium is found in nature at low concentrations, mainly with the sulfide ores of zinc, lead, and copper. Cadmium ores are not abundant, but Cd may be found in most zinc ores given its isomorphic substitution to zinc. However, due to its widespread occurrence, cadmium is found in measurable amounts in food, drink, and breath [1,25].
