High levels of cadmium, a chemical found in cigarettes and in contaminated vegetables, are associated with higher death rates in patients with influenza or pneumonia, research finds. High cadmium levels may also increase the severity of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses, according to the study. “Our study suggests the public in general, both smokers and nonsmokers, could benefit from reduced exposure to cadmium,” says lead author Sung Kyun Park, associate professor of epidemiology and environmental health sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Long-term exposure to cadmium, even at low levels, may undermine our defense system in the lungs, and people with high levels of the chemical may not be able to cope with influenza virus attacks, Park says.
