Abstract
When mercuric salts are injected into rats, volatile mercury is excreted, in part from the lungs and in part from the body surface. The amount of such excretion is small, averaging about 4 per cent of the total excretion. In the first hours after injection, when the blood levels are high, excretion from the lungs is high, but thereafter, the excretion is about equally divided between the lungs and the body surface. The rate of volatilization falls more rapidly than the total body burden of mercury, parallel to the drop in levels of the metal in the blood and skin.
