Police say David Xu dosed his co-worker's food and drinks with cadmium multiple times since October 2017.
An engineer in California has been arrested on suspicion of trying to kill a co-worker by poisoning her for more than a year.
Xu is accused of poisoning the food and drink of Rong Yuan, a fellow engineer at Berkeley Engineering and Research, on multiple occasions over the course of 18 months, according to court documents. Prosecutors have not specified a motive for Xu's actions. In November and December of last year, two of Yuan’s relatives, who were not identified in the documents, also experienced health problems after drinking water from a bottle Yuan brought home from work.
Prolonged exposure can also lead to kidney damage and bone fragility, the agency noted, and the EPA has labeled it a probable carcinogen.
