title: The distribution and clearance of inhaled uranium dioxide particles in the respiratory tract of the rat.
abstract: The distribution and clearance of inhaled UO2 particles in the respiratory tract of the rat has been determined by track counting in histological sections of lung at various times after a single brief inhalation. The results do not agree with the I.C.R.P. lung model. An alternative model is proposed which is more consistent with the data.
