Inorganic compounds of metallic mercuryare presumed from metabolic studies todistribute uniformly after inhalation oringestion with 8% going to the liver and 92%to the total body. Biological clearance ofmercury in each of these tissues occurs bytwo compartments, 95% with a biologicalhalf-life of 40 days and the remaining 5%with a biological half-life of 10,000 days. Foran intake of 1 MBq of 203Hg (Tr= 46.61 d).Determine the following1. Total number of transformations inthe Liver.2. Total number of transformations inthe total body.
