THE ACUTE TOXICITY AND RETENTION OF INTRAPERITONEALLY ADMINISTERED POLONIUM$sup 210$ IN THE RAT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4334878
<>12:007701In vitro, the retention of radon provides a sensitive measure of changes that take place in crystal sizes. Alcohol fixation and low-temperature embedding do not significantly change the radon retention of bone samples. In vivo, the recoil energy of the radon atom is usually sufficient to release it from its parent crystal, and, even though it may come to rest within an adjacent crystal, this does not necessarily prevent its subsequent escape.
