Abstract
An experiment is described in which the human metabolism of inorganic arsenic was investigated. Six volunteers took oral doses of 74As, and were measured in a whole body counter, for periods up to 103 days, with up to 39 separate measurements. Complete collections of their excreta were made for up to 7 days, and the 74As content was measured. The results indicate that the data are best represented by a three-component exponential function, the values of the coefficients for the pooled data being 65.9% with half-life of 2.09 days, 30.4% with a half-life of 9.5 days, and 3.7% with a half-life of 38.4 days.
