Abstract

The reactions of 1·0 nm particles of plutonium-238 dioxide with rat lung fluid have been studied both in vivo and in vitro. In both cases two products have been identified, (i) plutonium-labelled pulmonary surfactant and (ii) a heterogeneous plutonium-labelled material isolated by column chromatography.

The formation of plutonium-labelled pulmonary surfactant results in the rapid translocation of plutonium from lungs to blood and in a high urinary excretion relative to administered plutonium citrate.
