Sources of Cadmium in the Environment
Several OECD countries have taken steps to reduce unacceptable human and environmental risks from exposure to cadmium. The over 30 papers collected in this volume address a number of issues (health, environmental, economic, and trade) pertaining to cadmium use. They represent a wide range of viewpoints, including those of governments and industry. Also included are reports fromthe OECD Cadmium Workshop held in Sweden in October 1995, during which participants sought to reach consensus on sources of cadmium inputs to the environment and on actions that could be taken to address national or international problems and concerns.

About the author
OECD Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
8,140 books29 followersThe Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental economic organisation with 35 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. It is a forum of countries describing themselves as committed to democracy and the market economy, providing a platform to compare policy experiences, seeking answers to common problems, identify good practices and coordinate domestic and international policies of its members.
In 1948, the OECD originated as the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), led by Robert Marjolin of France, to help administer the Marshall Plan (which was rejected by the Soviet Union and its satellite states). This would be achieved by allocating American financial aid and implementing economic programs for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. (Similar reconstruction aid was sent to the war-torn Republic of China and post-war Korea, but not under the name "Marshall Plan".)
In 1961, the OEEC was reformed into the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development by the Convention on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and membership was extended to non-European states. Most OECD members are high-income economies with a very high Human Development Index (HDI) and are regarded as developed countries.
The OECD's headquarters are at the Château de la Muette in Paris, France. The OECD is funded by contributions from member states at varying rates.
