Tissue-dosimetry characteristics of plutonium (preliminary data relating to the determination of maximum permissible levels for the accidental intake of plutonium)

Description

The scale and dynamics of the entry of plutonium into the blood, and of its subsequent distribution, are determined primarily by the path by which it penetrates the organism: through the respiratory passages, through the gastro-intestinal tract, or through damaged integument. In addition, its distribution within the organism and the excretion rate are affected by the physical and chemical state of the plutonium and by its degree of dispersity in cases of intake by inhalation.
