  • Title: [Behavior of plutonium-239 in the body of rats inhaling it in a complex with tributyl phosphate in hexachlorobutadiene].
    Author: Chudin VA, Khalturin GV.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 1991 Feb; (2):43-5. PubMed ID: 2055511.
    Abstract:
    3.2-fold increase of resorption of plutonium-239 administered as a 239Pu complex with tributyl phosphate (TBP) in hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD) was observed during the first 4 days in an experiment on 120 Wistar rats, as compared to the resorption level during the administration of 239Pu alone, greater accumulation in the organs of secondary deposition, followed by disappearance of differences, but for the kidneys, where the differences were observed until the end of the experiment. These features did not lead to an increase of absorbed radiation doses in the critical organs by the end of the study. It is proposed to maintain control over safe levels of the 239Pu-TBP-HCBD complex in the working area air for DKA 239Pu.
