[ RadSafe ] Pu-239 famous chemical toxitity

[Baumbaugh, Joel SPAWAR]

Emil,

 

Pu is a NASTY kidney (and liver) but especially kidney toxin... The
effects can also be quite quick, dynamic and guaranteed fatal (if enough
is ingested).

It is still wonders me, why would chemical ALI being more restrictive

than the radiological one, if chemically via creation of toxin it

would NOT do damage to the chromosomes. Or it does and they just did

NOT ACCOUNT for it. (open)
