Abstract

Highlights

Landfills are a known source of cadmium (Cd), which can come from plastic waste, batteries, electronic waste, and industrial waste (Prudent et al 1996) [7]
ICGH Conference Proceedings water will seep into the ground and possibly contaminate the well water for residents living near the landfill
The urinary Cd data were not normally distributed; the Cd levels in urine were transformed into logarithms, resulting in normally distributed data

Summary

Introduction

Landfills are a known source of cadmium (Cd), which can come from plastic waste, batteries, electronic waste, and industrial waste (Prudent et al 1996) [7]. Open dumping methods of waste management may exacerbate the problem, resulting in environmental pollution around the landfill due to leachate.

Cadmium and the Resulting Urinary Cadmium Levels in a Community near a Dumping Site” in The 1st International Conference on Global Health, KnE Page 129. ICGH Conference Proceedings water will seep into the ground and possibly contaminate the well water for residents living near the landfill. Cd-contaminated well water will irritate the stomach and lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even death. Cd consumption in low concentrations over a long period of time will accumulate in the kidneys, and high levels will cause kidney damage [3]
