Biological health effects solubility

The potential for adverse health effects caused by the plutonium isotopes is dependent on several factors including solubility, distribution in the various body organs, the biological retention time in tissue, the energy of the radioactive emission, and the half-life of the isotope (EPA1977). A potential health hazard results when plutonium is inhaled and deposited in lung tissue or is ingested or enters... [Pg.20]

So what is known abont lead It is one of the few elements which seem to have no biological function, and its water soluble compounds are mostly toxic. In the human body, it accnmnlates in the bones as insoluble phosphates. Today s human bones contain about double the amount of lead that was measured in Stone Age skeletons, yet today s values are several times lower than it was in the bones of people who lived in the last two millennia. The health effects of lead remained im-known for a surprisingly long time in hrnnan history. [Pg.29]
