| Abstract |
Description of a method of determining polonium 210, a metabolite of radon 222 to which uranium miners are exposed, in urine. The method does not require the mineralisation of the sample (which considerably reduces handling time) and makes use of polonium's property of sedimenting spontaneously on nickel plates by electrochemical action. Its sensitivity is very high (up to 3.32 pCi/l) and it may be used on very small samples. |
