    Notes: Abstract The effects of cadmium exposure during pregnancy (by means of daily subcutaneous injections of 4.4 μmol/kg to the mother) on the neonates were investigated. No effect was observed on fetal or neonatal body weights, nor on neonatal liver weights. These parameters were examined up to 5 weeks after birth. The weight of neonatal thymuses was decreased 7 and 14 days after birth due to cadmium exposure of the mothers as compared with controls. This may be caused by zinc deficiency, because zinc concentrations in fetal and neonatal livers after cadmium exposure were found to be very low 20 days after conception and 5 h after birth. Cadmium concentration in neonatal liver decreased; however, cadmium in malignant liver increased as age increased. In the mother, cadmium was transferred to the milk, as it was demonstrated in the stomach contents of the pups. Simultaneous administration of zinc in amounts equimolar to cadmium did not have any noticeable effect on the amount of cadmium transferred to the fetus or on cadmium concentrations in any of the organs investigated. It could not prevent zinc deficiency in fetal and neonatal liver. In addition, growth retardation of the thymus from exposed pups could not be prevented by zinc administration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A comparison of performance characteristics of a destruction ETA-AAS method and the solid sampling ETA-AAS method experienced in analyzing cadmium in placenta is described. The accuracy of both methods is good; the precision of the destruction method was better. It was concluded that the direct method was preferable for the determination of cadmium in placenta and other tissues as it has a higher speed of analysis and is less sensitive to contamination. Problems with both methods are mentioned and homogenization of samples is shortly described.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Leistungsfähigkeit einer ETA-AAS-Methode mit Aufschluß wird verglichen mit derjenigen einer Feststoff-ETA-AAS-Methode. Die Richtigkeit beider Verfahren ist gut, während die Präzision bei der Methode mit Aufschluß besser ist. Es wurde der Schluß gezogen, daß die direkte Methode zur Cadmiumbestimmung in Placenta und anderen Geweben vorzuziehen ist, da sie eine größere Analysengeschwindigkeit bietet und geringere Störanfälligkeit gegenüber Verunreinigungen aufweist. Probleme, die bei beiden Verfahren auftauchen, werden aufgezeigt. Die Homogenisierung der Probe wird kurz beschrieben.
