  • Title: [Role of biocomponents of the bile and excreta in the elimination of plutonium and americium from the body].
    Author: Shvydko NS.
    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1986; 26(5):699-702. PubMed ID: 3774986.
    Abstract:
    A study was made of the role of biocomponents of bile, urine and feces in the elimination of plutonium and americium from the organism. Plutonium 239 and americium 241 were separated in bile due to higher tropism of plutonium to low molecular weight ligands, and of americium, to a protein-containing fraction. The status of plutonium excreted in feces was the same as the physicochemical status of americium. Plutonium 239 and americium 241 eliminated in urine were in a completely ultrafiltered state.
