| 1This table gives unwrought production from ores, concentrates, flue dusts, and other materials of both domestic and imported origin.�� | |||||||||||
| Sources generally do not indicate if secondary metal (recovered from scrap) is included or not; where known, this has been indicated by�� | |||||||||||
| a footnote. Data derived in part from World Metal Statistics (published by World Bureau of Metal Statistics, Ware, United Kingdom) and | |||||||||||
| from Metal Statistics (published jointly by Metallgesellschaft AG of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and World Bureau of Metal | |||||||||||
| Statistics). Cadmium is found in ores, concentrates, and/or flue dusts in several other countries, but these materials are exported for� | |||||||||||
| treatment elsewhere to recover cadmium metal; therefore, such output is not reported in this table to avoid double counting. This table� | |||||||||||
| includes data available through May 8, 2008. | |||||||||||
| 2World totals, U.S. data, and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown. | |||||||||||
| 3Romania, Thailand, and Uzbekistan may produce primary cadmium metal or oxide, but information is inadequate to make reliable� | |||||||||||
| estimates of output. | |||||||||||
