Description/Abstract:

A STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOR OF MERCURY-203,205, CHLORINE-36, SODIUM-22, SODIUM-24, POTASSIUM-42, PHOSPHOROUS-32, AND IODINE-13 IN WATER, HUMAN URINE, AND HUMAN PLASMA, IN VITRO, AND IN VIVO, INDICATED THAT SELF- ABSORPTION, VOLATILIZATION, AND DELIQUESCENCE OFFER SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN RADIOBIOLOGY. ALTHOUGH THESE FACTORS BEHAVE EXACTLY AS WOULD BE EXPECTED, THEY MAY BE OVERLOOKED BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE PECULIAR EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED IN BIOLOGIC INVESTIGATIONS. A CORRELATION OF GRAVIMETRIC AND RADIOMETRIC DETERMINATIONS OF PREPARATIONS OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ISOTOPES IN WATER, URINE, AND PLASMA ON FILTER PAPER DISKS, AFTER DRYING THEM AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES, REVEALED THAT, TO CONTROL THESE FACTORS, CAREFUL ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO THE CHEMICAL ENVIRONMENT AND, MORE IMPORTANT, THE METHOD AND TEMPERATURE OF DRYING THE BIOLOGIC MATERIALS FOR COUNTING.
