Abstract
Within clinical respiratory functional explorations, a pulmonary clearance study was performed on two groups of patients: 20 normal individuals for the former, 18 for the latter, most of them suffering from various diseases (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis and pneumoconiosis). Each group included smokers and non-smokers. /sup 198/Au aerosols were administered to the former group, and /sup 51/Cr-labelled polystyrene spherical particles to the latter. Low-level whole-body ..gamma..-spectrometry was carried out for several weeks or several months. The retention curves are exponential, and the calculated half-lives were compared to several data: age, sex, profession, cigarette smoking rate, spirometric explorations, etiology. The normal biological half-life is about 68 days; it is significatively increased by smoking, it is also increased in the pathological conditions considered, except sarcoidosis.
