Lafuma, J

The passage of an inhaled alpha -emitting aerosol in the blocd was measured in a cell set in a by-pass on the carotid. One wall of the cell consisted of the window of a proportional counter. Since the background of the instrument was less than 2 impulses/h, 10/sup -5/ mu c/ml of an aemitter of 5 Mev could be easily detected in spite of the short path of alpha rays in the blood. (auth)
