[The effects of radium-224 in children and adults (author's transl)].
During 1944-1952 a large number of German patients were injected with "Peteosthor", a solution of Ra-224 with added traces of eosin and colloidal platinum. In high doses this treatment has been followed by an increased frequency of malignant bone sarcomas, benign exostoses, growth retardation, tooth breakage, kidney diseases, liver diseases and cataracts. This information is being used to estimate the bone cancer risk from Plutonium.
