[Radiometric studies of eye tissues in experimental cobalt intoxication].
Accumulation of cobalt in eye tissues were examined in rabbits which received the radioactive isotope 60Co Cl2. The studies revealed that this metal is accumulated at first in iris, choroid and ciliary body and, in smaller amounts, in cornea, sclera and retina. The least amounts of cobalt were found in lens. The contents of uveal tract was comparable with that found in heart and lungs, i.e. the organs in which lesions are the most frequent in cobalt intoxication.
