AbstractAbstract
[en] Beagle dogs were exposed by inhalation to 90Sr in a relatively insoluble form to study long-term health effects. Lung burdens ranged from 0.12 to 96 μCi of 90Sr per kilogram of body weight. High levels of exposure have caused pulmonary fibrosis and radiation pneumonitis; lower level exposures caused long-term effects which included cancer of the lung, heart and tracheobronchial lymph nodes. Most of these tumors were hemangiosarcomas. Six dogs died during the past year and two of them had hemangiosarcoma primary to a tracheobronchial lymph node. This was a new finding in this study and indicates the importance of considering the radiation dose to thoracic lymph nodes which continually accumulate radioactive particles after inhalation exposure to relatively insoluble radioactive aerosols
