Cadmium, selenium and zinc were determined in seminal plasma and serum of 64 men by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The mean (+/- SD) cadmium concentrations in seminal plasma and serum were 0.22 +/- 0.22 micrograms and 0.28 +/- 0.10 micrograms, respectively, but they did not correlate with each other. Smokers (n = 31) had significantly (p less than 0.01) higher serum cadmium concentrations than non-smokers (n = 31). Also seminal plasma cadmium in smokers was elevated, but a significant difference to non-smokers was only found if more than 20 cigarettes were consumed daily. No differences were found in semen quality and fertility between smokers and non-smokers. The seminal plasma cadmium had no correlation to selenium or zinc which, however, displayed a positive correlation (r = 0.852, p less than 0.001) to each other. It is concluded that smoking increases the exposure to cadmium. Although no obvious reproductive suppression was observed, heavy smoking may possibly enhance toxic effects in men under other detrimental exposures.

PIP: Cadmium, selenium, and zinc were determined in seminal plasma and serum of 64 men by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The mean (+or- SD) cadmium concentrations in seminal plasma and serum were 0.22 +or- 0.22 mcg and 0.28 +or- 0.10 mcg, respectively, but they did not correlate with each other. Smokers (n=31) had significantly (p0.01) higher serum cadmium concentrations than nonsmokers (n=31). Also, seminal plasma cadmium in smokers was elevated, but a significant difference to nonsmokers was only found if 20 cigarettes were consumed daily. No differences were found in semen quality and fertility between smokers and nonsmokers. The seminal plasma cadmium had no correlation to selenium or zinc which, however, displayed a positive correlation (r=0.852, p 0.001) to each other. It is concluded that smoking increases the exposure to cadmium. Although no obvious reproductive suppression was observed, heavy smoking may possible enhance toxic effects in men under other detrimental exposures. (author's)
