  • Title: Metabolism of americium-241 in man: an unusual case of internal contamination of a child and his father.
    Author: Cohen N, Sasso TL, Wrenn ME.
    Journal: Science; 1979 Oct 05; 206(4414):64-6. PubMed ID: 482925.
    Abstract:
    The metabolism of americium-241 has been studied during an 8-year period in an adult male and his son who, at the ages of 50 and 4 years, respectively, were accidentally and unknowingly contaminated within their home by means of inhalation. Chelation therapy with calcium trisodium pentetate was more effective in enhancing the removal of americium-241 from the child than from the father.
