Th dfference of the effects of dietary and inhalative cadmium on hemoglobin and hematocrit was investigated using Wistar male rats. For the inhalation studies, rats were exposed to CdCl/sub 2/ aerosols (0.2 mg Cd/m/sup 3/) for 66 days. For the dietary experiments the rats received 25, 50 and 100 ppM cadmium as CdCl/sub 2/ in drinking water. The following parameters were measured: the body weights of the animals, hematocrit and hemoglobin in blood, and the Cd content of liver and kidney. The results showed a retardation of growth in the aerosol-exposed group and the group with 100 ppM oral Cd intake. The relation of the Cd content of kidney to liver averaged 1.7 for the oral-exposed groups and 4.4 for the inhalation-exposed groups. The hematocrit and hemoglobin values for the inhalation-exposed rats showed no significant differences when compared to the controls, but the values for the dietary cadmium group showed a significant reduction.
