Abstract
This report is one of a series of reports which will be used by EPA in responding to the Congressional request under section 122 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 to determine whether atmospheric emissions of cadmium pose any threat to public health. This report surveys the used of cadmium and potential emission sources to determine which sources are the most significant both in terms of total emissions and potential ambient levels. It is estimated that about 850 tons of cadmium were emitted during 1974, with the largest estimated emitted of cadmium being the production of zinc. Other sources identified were incinerators, iron and steel mills, fossil fuel combustion, smelters.
