Decontamination effectiveness of bentonite in sheep and pigs contaminated with a single dose of radiocesium
Description
The effect of bentonite originating from Polish geological deposits on radiocesium absorption and relation in sheep and pigs was examined. It was found that 10% addition of bentonite (w/w) one day after radiocesium administration decreased significantly the concentration of Cs-137 in the organs examined. The decontamination effectiveness of bentonite in pigs was lower than that in sheep. (author). 14 refs, 2 tabs
