THE EFFECT OF ULTRA-VIOLET, X-RAY, AND RADIUM RADIATION ON THE TOXICITY OF NORMAL BLOOD

David I. Macht 1 and Eben C. Hill 1

1 From the Laboratories of Pharmacology and Anatomy, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.

While the number of experiments performed is perhaps somewhat limited the results obtained were quite definite and warrant the following conclusions. The toxicity of normal blood for living plant protoplasm as studied on the growth of Lupinus albus seedlings is definitely influenced by various radiations. Ultra-violet rays produce no effect on normal blood or may even render it slightly less toxic. Roentgen rays render normal blood more toxic. The toxicity is greater in the case of the blood plasma as compared with the blood cells and a more toxic effect is produced with the Coolidge tube as compared with the gas tube. Radium emanations in the few experiments performed produced changes very much the same as those given by the x-rays.
