This study analyzes the horizontal and vertical migration processes of Cd contents based on the investigations conducted during May and August It reveals the dynamic balance process of Cd substance in a marine bay and shows that in the waters close to the source input the content of Cd in the surface waters is the highest and also the vertical dilution amount is the highestreference dose for cadmium in food should be used for the assessment of noncancer effects to soil and biota When using the MTCA Equations to calculate soil groundwater and surface water cleanup levels the more protective oral reference dose mg/kg d for “water” is used for sedimentation filtration and chlorination
