Cadmium is a reactive metal. When it reacts to form compounds, the compounds have different colors. They are usually white or yellow. The yellow cadmium compounds are used in paint.

Cadmium is a deadly metal. If you get too much cadmium from your food or water, it can cause many problems. Water plants remove the cadmium from the water so that we do not get harmed by it. Even so, we get a little bit of cadmium from our food. It is not enough to kill us, though.
