Lafuma, J

The passage in the blood of an alpha-emitting aerosol which was inhaled was measured in a little cell attached to the carotid. A wall of the cell is formed by the window of a Geiger-Mueller courter functioning as a proportional courter. The background noise of the apparatus is less than 2 pulses/hr. One can easily detect 10/sup 5/ mu c/ml of an alpha emitter of 5 Mev in spite of the short track of alpha particles in the blood. (tr-auth)
