Role of ruthenium in humans

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Mark Foreman

Dear Reader,

One of my readers asked the question of will ruthenium-103/106 which is released from a reactor accident enter the human metabolism ?

I understand the term metabolism to mean the sum total of all the chemical reactions which are occurring inside an organism. Thus metabolism includes lots and lots of different reactions. I will need to consider the question further and do some reading before I can answer this question with anything more than at best an educated guess and at worst the random ranting of Mark Foreman.

When I am ready to answer the question I will post something on the subject.

Filed under: radiation, radioactivity, ruthenium |
