The action of unithiol on the process of distribution and excretion of polonium from the organism and the character of changes in the ograns of white rats in the e studied. On the basis of autoradiographic and histological investigations it was established that early administration of unithiol accelerates and increases quantitatively the excretion of polonium from the organism. Polonium is discharged mainly through the kidneys, where it concentrates in large quantities. The development of changes in the organs, especially those of the hematopoietic system, is delayed and does not have such a severe form (aplastic experimental rats increases from 13 to 95 days. Acute radiation sickness runs a chronic course. As a result of the presence of constant large quantities of an alpha emitter, early date and are of a severe nature. Toward the 102nd to 115th day a picture of nephrosis is observed. (auth)
