The urinary Cd and β2-MG concentrations of 25 males and 28 females did not show a significant change, 22 years after the Cd-polluted soil was restored. Once exposed to Cd, it was found to remain in the body, 22 years after the Cd -polluted soil was restored. However, this did not influence renal tubular dysfunction in most of the younger generation compared with elders heavily exposed to Cd. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC., 金沢大学大学院医学系研究科保健看護科学専攻, 金沢大学医薬保健研究域保健学系}, pages = {363--367}, title = {Seventeen-Year Observation on Urinary Cadmium and β2-Microglobulin in Inhabitants After Cessation of Cadmium-Exposure in Japan}, volume = {84}, year = {2010} }
