The Interaction of a Finely Divided Lead Suspension with Blood-serum, Ringer Solution, and Aqueous Phosphate Solution

Abstract

When the lead suspension is injected into the blood stream, the transformation of lead to lead hydroxide, and hydroxide to secondary phosphate is rapid. With the aqueous phosphate solution the tertiary phosphate of lead is found, whereas with Ringer''s solution the secondary phosphate is formed. Ionic lead is not produced in any detectable amount.
