Abstract
THE biological half-life of an element in man is needed for the calculation of maximun permissible concentrations in air and water of radioisotopes of the element1. An important assumption in making such calculations is that the body content during chronic exposure may be predicted by mathematical integration with respect to time of the equation describing the retention following a single acute intake. This hypothesis has never been tested in man. The results of recent investigations here demonstrate the essential correctness of the assumption for radioisotopes of caesium.
