BEHAVIOUR OF RADIONUCLIDES IN TERRESTRIAL AND FRESHWATER ENVIRONMENTS

Objective


The toxic effects on the thyroid metabolism and the possible carcinogenicity of chronic oral administration of technetium has been studied. Studies on the transfer to the foetus or to new born of technetium administered during pregnancy and lactation have also been performed.

Studies have been conducted to improve our knowledge on the transfer of technetium to animals chosen as human models (rat and pig) or as a link in the food chain pathway to man (sheep). The parameters of absorption, accumulation into organs and excretion, depending on animal species and the chemical form administered, had to be investigated in more detail. Also the toxic effects on thyroid metabolism and the possible carcinogenicity of chronic oral administration of technetium had to be studied. Studies on transfer to the foetus, or to the new born, of technetium administered during pregnancy and lactation are also performed.
