Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production. It was used for a long time as a [[pigment]] and for corrosion resistant plating on [[steel]] while cadmium compounds were used to stabilize [[plastic]]. With the exception of its use in [[nickel–cadmium battery|nickel–cadmium batteries]] and [[cadmium telluride]] [[solar panel]]s, the use of cadmium is generally decreasing. These declines have been due to competing technologies, cadmium's [[toxicity]] in certain forms and concentration and resulting regulations.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite book|author = |chapter = Cadmium|title = Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology|edition = 4th|place=New York|publisher = John Wiley & Sons|year=1994|volume= 5|pages = }}</ref>-->
