The effect of chemotherapy for mixed fission products on the toxicokinetics of cadmium and mercury in rats.
The mixture of calcium alginate, ferrihexacyanoferrate(II) and potassium iodide, which efficiently decreases fission product retention, had no influence on 115mCd toxicokinetics in rats. This mixture, however, caused increased whole body retention of 203Hg after oral administration. It is assumed that iodine in the mixture might be responsible for this effect.
