Thallium concentration and thallium isotope composition of lateritic terrains

Thallium isotope constraints on Earth’s accretion

The extinct radionuclide Pb decays to Tl with a halflife of 15 Myr. The former presence of Pb in the solar system was recently inferred from a Pb-Tl isochron that was obtained for seven metal samples from the IAB iron meteorites Canyon Diablo and Toluca [1]. New Tl isotope data obtained for eight carbonaceous chondrites are in full accord with this isochron [2]. Several lines of evidence (based...

Thallium intoxication

We report a rare case of serious voluntary intoxication by laboratory thallium monobromate combined with alcohol intake by a 24-years old man. The diagnosis of thallium intoxication was based on history, nonspecific but typical clinical symptoms including gastrointestinal complaints, painful polyneuropathy, alopecia, and confirmed by the finding of increased thallium concentration in the urine....

Management of thallium poisoning.

A case of acute thallium poisoning in a 67-year-old Chinese woman is described. She presented with acute pain in the chest, abdomen, and lower limbs. The diagnosis was not made, however, until alopecia developed. Detoxification treatment, which included Prussian blue (potassium ferric hexacyanoferrate) was then given, but further neurological damage occurred. The patient's motor function recove...
