Whole body retention in rats of different 191Pt compounds following inhalation exposure.
The whole body retention, excretion, lung clearance, distribution, and concentration of 191Pt in other tissues was determined in rats following a single inhalation exposure to different chemical forms of 191Pt. The chemical forms of 191Pt used in study were 191PtCl4, 191Pt(SO4)2, 191PtO, and 191Pt metal. Immediately after exposure most of the 191Pt was found in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract. Movement of the 191Pt through the gastrointestinal tract was rapid, most of the 191Pt being eliminated within 24 hr after exposure. Lung clearance was much slower, with a clearance half-time of about 8 days. In addition to the lungs, kidney and bone contained the highest concentrations of 191Pt.
