The estimate of the mean body burden of the
Rouvelap gronp at s2 dhuys post detonation is
presented in Table 4.6. ‘Vhe budy burden at one
day was caleulated in the following niuniner.
A formula was obtained from urinary excretion

excretion curve was best represented by four
exponential terms, ( Verv simuhir results were
obtained by approximating the bighoeieal decay
