Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Retention of thallium in organ tissues is prolonged; 45% of an ingested dose of dithallium carbonate (tl2co3) was still present in the human body after 25 days, & thallium could be detected in cerebrospinal fluid. similar thallium retention was recorded in dogs & geese.
