Description:
Soluble plutonium is oxidized to the Pi(VI) oxidation state by chlorine during water treatment. Under certain conditions Pi(VI) is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It appears that due consideration has not been given to the effect that the presence of plutonium in this oxidation state may have on the maximum permissible concentration of plutonium in drinking water.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Larsen, R P -- Oldham, R D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Sep 15;201(4360):1008-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/684421" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
