Both the environment and genes are important for concentrations of cadmium and lead in blood.

Environmental health perspectives - 1 Aug 2000

Björkman L, Vahter M, Pedersen N L

Abstract excerpt

Concentrations of cadmium and lead in blood (BCd and BPb, respectively) are traditionally used as biomarkers of environmental exposure. We estimated the influence of genetic factors on these markers in a cohort of 61 monozygotic and 103 dizygotic twin pairs (mean age = 68 years, range = 49-86). BCd and BPb were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Variations in both BCd and BPb were...
