Abstract
The present study was undertaken to extend our knowledge of the behaviour of 211At in the laboratory environment. An unexpectedly high volatility of free 211At was found, up to 85% during an hour. Free 211At also adsorbed more onto the plastic material studied than 125I-. The results of this study show that it is of great importance to pay careful attention to radiation protection procedures during the practical handling of free 211At.
