[Comparative assessment of the danger of inhaling 239Pu and 241Am based on the degree of leukopenia in dogs].

From the analysis of the results of examination of 96 dogs it is concluded that the estimate of a relative danger of breathing transuranium radionuclides with different metabolism rates (polymeric 239Pu and monomeric 241Am), according to degree of leukopenia is more reliable when it is compared with a mean weighed dose per whole organism than the dose per individual "critical" organ.
