title: [Percutaneous absorption of metallic cations: uranium particulates].
abstract: Washing is usually used to reduce the risk of a skin contamination. Skin biopsies were used and contaminations were realised with 1) soluble radioactive calcium 2) insoluble particles of uranium. The result obtained with different wash liquids are presented here. Water and soap had no effect but hypertonic DTPA was the better therapy to remove uranium from skin.
