Effect of pentacyn and tetoxacyn on acceleration of plutonium elimination from human organism

In order to accelerate an elimination of 239Pu from organism the 19 workers involved into plutonium production were treated by pentacyn and tetoxacyn. Intravenous injection of pentacyn (8-24 ml as a 10% solution) and tetoxacyn (10 ml as a 10% solution) was demonstrated to accelerate elimination of plutonium from human organism largely with urine. Pentacyn was a more effective and a less toxic preparation compared to tetoxacyn.
