Recherches sur l'accumulation et la toxicité du radium et du radiostrontium dans le corps humain. III. Courbes d'élimination du strontium 90

Abstract

The urinary excretion of two persons contaminated by 90Sr was followed up for 34 weeks. The excretion curve of one of these persons, whose contamination ceased 940 days before the beginning of the analyses, and which corresponds to a period of slow elimination, indicates a half‐time value of 2502 days. The curve of the other one, which has been taken just after contamination ceased and which corresponds therefore to a period of more rapid elimination, indicates a half‐time value of 337 days.
