Blood bioassay

[kaplan@bnl.gov]

We are interested in the possibility of using a single blood sample,
rather than 24-hour composite or spot urine, for plutonium bioassay.  One
may expect less fluctuation in Pu blood content compared to urinary
excretion.  Preliminary calculations indicate that a small volume of blood
could represent a 24 hour composite sample.  However, the interpretation
of blood content is unclear.  ANY INFORMATION IN THIS REGARD IS
APPRECIATED!
