Cadmium cycle

Cadmium cycle (anthropogenic and natural) showing fluxes and reservoir sizes. Dissolved riverine flux is 3,000 t/yr and particulate riverine flux is 23,000 t/yr.[1] Fluxes are in t/yr.

The cadmium cycle is a biogeochemical cycle of dispersion and deposition of cadmium through the atmosphere, biosphere, pedosphere, and hydrosphere. Cadmium typically exists in the environment with an oxidation state of +2 but can be found with an oxidation state of +1 (though quite uncommon).[1]
