Abstract

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been applied to the assessment of urinary uranium excretion in non-exposed subjects. The sensitivity of the method is high enough to determine238U concentration in unprocessed urine in any subject. Data obtained so far show a significant increase of238U excretion with age and no differences between males and females.
