Abstract
By measuring the amount of radio-isotope mercury in the pricipal organs, blood, and urine of the guinea pigs administered with Hg203 Cl2, the author obtained the following results.
1. The author devised a method of the detecting and estimating of Hg203 Cl2 by oxidizing and degrading Hg203 Cl2 into the form of HgS by the Fresenius-Babo method.
2. Hg203 Cl2 shows a strong affinity specific to the kidneys; and also a large quanity of it has been excreted in the urine.
3. The amount of Hg203 Cl2 adsorbed in the blood and liver is extremely trifle.
4. A portion of Hg203 Cl2 introduced into the body of the pregnant guinea pig passes through the placenta and is tranferred and adsorbed in the embryo.
