The excretion and distribution of 137Cs in a 60 year old male given a single dose of 8,2 μC through a gastrostomy have been studied. The excretion rates and the concentrations in faeces, urine and blood are presented, as well as the distribution of 137Cs in several of the internal organs removed after death. The biological half-life for cesium in this study is approximately 100 days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
