I'm hoping that some of the older members here might have some knowledge about this
In the 1950s, my father was a police constable in Norwich, UK. I was under 10 at the time but I can clearly remember being told that he was part of a group that was putting caches of cadmium around Norfolk so that natural distribution patterns could be monitored.
This newspaper article seems to confirm my memory:

So can any member here throw any more light on this? My dad died of cancer of the oesophagus in 1992. This type of cancer is associated with exposure to cadmium, I believe.
