Abstract

Transfer of ^110mAg, ⁵⁸Co, ⁵⁹Fe, ¹⁴¹Ce, ¹⁰³Ru, ⁸⁸Y, ⁸⁵Sr, ⁵¹Mn, ¹³⁴Cs, ¹⁵²Eu, ^95mTc, ⁷⁵Se, ⁶⁵Zn and ¹³³Gd was investigated in utero and during lactation in minipigs given the radioactive material added to food from day 50 of pregnancy until the end of lactation. The paper presents selected results on Ag, Co, Fe, Sr, Mn, Cs, Ru and Y and Tc. Transfer was highest for Cs and, in haemopoietic tissues, for Fe. Lower transfer was found for Ag, Fe, Mn with some preference for certain tissues (Ag in brain and liver, Mn in pancreas). Sr accumulated almost exclusively in bone and Tc in thyroid with higher concentrations in fetal and infant tissues than in maternal tissues. Lanthanides, Ru and Y were all close to detection limits or below in most maternal or fetal or infant tissues and could be found in bone and, less consistently, in kidney and liver.
