Abstract

After the inhalation of ²³⁸Pu and ²⁴¹Am as nitrate, the repeated administration of DTPA is far superior to that of LICAM(C) for enhancing their elimination from the body. The therapeutic efficacies of these chelating agents are however similar after intravenous injection of ²³⁸Pu as citrate. It is concluded that DTPA should remain the agent of choice for treating persons contaminated internally with transportable forms of these actinides.
