Ni kwelI DR MWAKYEMBE KAPEWA HII KITU-POLONIUM 210....?


What happens to Po-210 after it enters the body?
Between 50% and 90% of ingested Po-210 passes thru the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and leaves the body in the feces. The retained amount enters the bloodstream where it concentrates in the soft tissues. Approximately 45% of ingested Po-210 is deposited in the spleen, kidneys, and liver; 10% is deposited in the bone marrow and the remainder is distributed throughout the body. Within the bloodstream, Po-210 combines with hemoglobin.
 
How long does Po-210 stay in the body?
The effective half-life of Po-210 -- the time required for the combined action of the physical and biological half-lives to reduce the activity by 50 percent -- is approximately 40 days. The physical half-life of Po-210 is about 140 days. Physical half-life is a measure of the time required for one-half of the activity of a radioactive substance to be lost due to radioactive decay. The whole body biological half-life of Po-210 is approximately 50 days. Biological half-life is a measure of the time required for biological processes to eliminate one-half of the Po-210 retained by the body.
 
Are other people at risk if they come into close contact with a person who has ingested Po-210? People will not be exposed to radiation just by being near a person who may have ingested water containing some Po-210. Health care workers who are providing care for patients will not be exposed to Po-210 unless they inhale or ingest contaminated bodily fluids. Normal hygiene practices in hospitals for microbial contamination will protect workers from any surface radiological contamination.
 
Are there tests to determine if I have ingested Po-210?
Some laboratories in the United States can conduct Po-210 testing on urine, and your state health department can help you assess whether this is appropriate for you. CDC is also available to assist you, your health care provider, and your state health department in interpreting results of any tests that you and your health care provider may decide to undertake. The small amounts of Po-210 that anyone would be exposed to drinking even the most contaminated well water in Lahontan Valley are greatly below the amounts that would be expected to cause acute health problems such as radiation sickness. If you have any medical concerns, you should contact your health care provider to discuss them.
