Cadmium is a heavy metal. It can be bonded with other molecules in liquid form, just like others. It's toxic, like lead and mercury. We get it into the environment via factory emissions. Here in Connecticut there is an advisory on eating venison liver due to high cadmium concentrations. It apparently bioaccumulates like other heavy metals.
