Cadmium, Cd (Latin cadmia calamine mineral, a zinc ore), lumps, rods, AAS solution, granular, powder
Highly toxic, Not permitted in schools, toxic at low concentrations.
Cadmium metal is soft silver-white or blue-white colour, shiny metal, usually found combined with other elements, e.g. cadmium chloride, cadmium oxide, cadmium sulfite.
As fine powder burns to release toxic fumes of cadmium oxide.
Cadmium can replace zinc in body proteins causing cadmium vapour poisoning, itai-itai bone-softening disease in Japan.
Cadmium is used in solders and electroplating.
Cadmium, blue-white, occurs in sphalerite, zinc sulfide, crystal deposits, zinc ores, resembles zinc, a rare element that occurs in the mineral sphalerite, zinc sulfide, is used for cadmium plating against corrosion, in nuclear reactors and in films sensitive to ultraviolet light,
reference voltage in a Western Standard cadmium cell, Cd / Zn alloys in low melting point solders and aluminium solders, Ni-Cd batteries (Nicad), phosphorescent coating of TV tubes.

Oysters in polluted water may accumulate cadmium.
In former Communist countries that practice of collection of "night soil" as a fertilizer, caused cadmium pollution of low-lying agricultural soil.
Cadmium is toxic, because it competes with Zn and Ca and can deprive the body of zinc by binding with proteins instead of zinc.
Large concentrations cause painful bone ailments and bone porosity in Japan, called itai-itai.
The human body gets rid of excess Cd by deposition in the kidneys and liver.
Atomic number: 48, Relative atomic mass: 112.41, RD 8.64, MP = 321oC, BP = 765oC.

Catalase
Catalase is a common enzyme in animal and plant cells that catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.

promotes the growth of some cells in the human body.
Catalase is a heme enzyme that is present in the peroxisome of nearly all aerobic cells.
Catalase is a key antioxidant enzyme in the bodies defense against oxidative stress.
Catalase converts the reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and thereby mitigates the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide.
Oxidative stress is hypothesized to play a role in the development of many chronic or late-onset diseases such as diabetes, asthma, and cancers
