I recently learned about the high toxicity of cadmium dust.(as little as 1 part per Billion) I also understand that it was commonly used as rust proofing on parts,fasteners, etc. during WWII. The problem comes when someone wire wheels one of these items and inhales the dust. Are there any specific years/parts/tools(in tool kits) that we should take extra precautions with while restoring?

cadmium, asbestos, etc. all part of vehicle manufacturing for a while. Cadmium was used up until the late 80's on plated parts.

Just use reasonable precautions, wear a dust mask or a fitted respirator if you're really gonna be working in a dusty environmental. Heck, life itself is hazardous to your health. Enjoy your hobby.
