Progress in the study of cadmium

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal widely occurring in the environment, often due to the human activity. The employees of the Institute of Geology of the Czech Acad Sci have developed a method for measuring Cd isotopes in biological samples using thermal ionization mass spectroscopy (TIMS). The results published in the prestigious analytical journal Talanta represent a useful tool in the quality control of chemical analyses for all laboratories involved in the analysis of cadmium in biogenic materials.
