Article Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was one of the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2019. The ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) provides a useful indicator for the diagnosis of COPD. Existing data have demonstrated that cadmium (Cd) exposure is associated with COPD. However, data concerning the incidence and progression of cadmium-induced COPD is inconsistent. To explore the relationship between cadmium exposure and the risk of COPD in humans, through January 12, 2023, we conducted a thorough search of the PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus databases for relevant material. In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between cadmium and COPD. This meta-analysis indicated that exposure to cadmium (per 1 μg/L increase) was associated with reduced FEV1/FVC (% change = -47.54%, 95% CI: -54.99% to -40.09%). Subgroup analysis showed that the combined effect estimates were significantly higher in the COPD patient group (% change = -54.66%, 95% CI: -83.32% to -26.00%) than in the general population (% change = -52.11%, 95%CI: -60.53% to -43.70%). Therefore, we conclude that cadmium exposure is associated with reduced FEV1/FVC, which suggests a risk for COPD.

Background: Evaluation of the combined effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and dietary factors provides critical information for cumulative health risk assessment. Herein, we investigated the effects of cadmium (Cd) exposure and high fructose (HFr) diet on metabolic and reproductive health in female mice.
Methods: Female CD-1 mice were exposed to cadmium chloride (CdCl) (0.

Industrial emissions of cadmium, which is used in various industries, and formation of cadmium nanoparticles during high-temperature technological processes aggravate the problem of chemical pollution. Insufficient understanding of the toxic impact of cadmium nanoparticles, coupled with the serious multisystem toxicity of this metal, necessitate expansion of knowledge about their potential toxic effects. We assessed the response of female outbred albino rats to subchronic exposure to cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO NPs) administered intranasally at the concentration of 0.

Cadmium (Cad) is a worldwide heavy metal pollutant associated with global health challenges. Alteration of the intestinal microbiome, due to chemicals' exposure, plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases such as pancreatic disorders. Hence, modulation of the gut microbiota might be a targeted approach to manage pancreatic diseases.

Bioaccumulation of metals and metalloids in marine environments poses a significant risk to both human and aquatic health, with seasonal fluctuations substantially influencing its dynamics and magnitude. This study investigated the impact of metals and metalloids exposure on the health of Wallago attu (Wallago catfish) and Catla catla (Indian carp) inhabiting the Head Siphon, Mailsi, Pakistan. This study involved the seasonal (May 2022, October 2022, April 2023) assessment of physicochemical properties and the concentrations of several metals and metalloids-copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe)-in water samples.
