Exposure is common during the mining and smelting of zinc, copper, and lead. The metallic form of Cd is used in electroplating because of its anticorrosive properties, the metallic salts are used as pigments and stabilizers in plastics, and Cd alloys are used in soldering, welding, nickel-cadmium batteries, and photovoltaic cells. Cd solder in water pipes and Cd pigments in pottery can be sources of contamination of water and acidic foods.
