“…Human occupational and controlled exposures to Po have been summarized by Jackson and Dolphin (1966). A mean effective half-time of 31.4 days for Po excreted in urine was reported for 18 individuals occupationally exposed (Naimark 1948;Naimark 1949).…”

“…The existing metabolic models for Po include a urinary excretion --fraction of 0.1 (XCRP 1968;Jackson and Dolphin 1966). More recently, Bernard (1979) estimated a fecal-to-urine excretion ratio of 9 for systemic Po following intravenous injection, corresponding to a urinary excretion fraction of 0.1.…”

“…. Jackson and Dolphin(1966) have said that if material of small particle size enters the body some may be rapidly absorbed even if the total solubility at equilibrium i 2 is low. The rate of solution in body fluids is very dependent on the route of entry as well as on the size of the particles, hence the wide variation in excretion from case to case.…”

“…An alternative method of determining the whole-body content of caesium in man is by collecting partial day urine samples from a group of individuals and then using established ratios of whole-body to 24h excretion to obtain an estimate of the average body burden of caesium in the group [1][2]. The use of partial-day sampling may be justified when considering group averages rather than individual values [3].…”

Abstract. Within the field of environmental radiology, the levels of potassium and creatinine in urine are sometimes used to estimate the 24h excretion of radiocaesium from single urine samples. This is done in order to estimate the whole-body content of radiocaesium and the associated absorbed dose rate in man. Data on human urinary potassium excretion from various sources are available in the literature, but there are clear discrepancies between the ICRP 23 values for the reference man and these data which vary with the geographical location of the population. The relationship between urinary potassium and creatinine excretion and the correlation to parameters such as age, sex, body weight and ethnicity were investigated through multiple regression analysis. The groups of adults studied were a group from the city of Lund in southern of Sweden (1987-1994) and a group from rural areas outside the city of Bryansk, Russia (1994-1997). A significant difference was found in the relationship between the urinary potassium concentration and the creatinine concentration between the Swedish and Russian subjects. The elevated potassium concentrations found in the rural Russian subjects indicate a high dietary intake of potassium, which is in accordance with results from a Russian food habit questionnaire in the Bryansk area. No significant correlations were found between urinary potassium concentration and weight or age. The significant difference in the relationship between urinary potassium and creatinine between the two populations could explain the difference of a factor of two found in estimations of the whole-body content of I37 Cs for the Russian group, depending on which of the two substances, creatinine or potassium, was used for estimation of the body burden of ,37 Cs from single urine samples.
