Abstract
After oral application of 100 ng of Al-26 in 100 mug of Al as AlCl3 to two volunteers, Al-26 concentrations in blood serum and in urine were measured with accelerator mass spectrometry. Altogether 44 samples we re measured in a time period of 23 days after application of Al-26. Th e measured data were described by an open four-compartment model. Alum inum resorption factors and rate constants for resorption, elimination and exchange between the compartments were obtained. The deduced reso rption factors are in the range of 10(-3).
