Gender-specific differences in the biokinetics of plutonium and other actinides
Creators
Description
The published data on the biokinetics of actinide distribution and retention in humans and animals have been reviewed. It is concluded that in humans there are strong indications that urinary and faecal excretion of plutonium is greater in females than males. Animal data indicate that this may also be true for americium, neptunium and uranium. (author)
