Influence of low temperature on the excretion of radiocesium and radioruthenium compared with radiostrontium.
The excretion rates for 137Cs and 106Ru after an internal contamination of CBA-mice were compared with that of 85Sr. The enhancing effect caused by 'low-temperature treatment' (+4 degrees C) observed in the case of radiostrontium was still more obvious for radiocesium but did not occur in animals contaminated with radioruthenium.
