The pharmacokinetics of the poisonous element thallium have been examined directly by field desorption mass spectrometry from very small tissue samples. After oral administration of 160 mg/kg to mice, concentrations of 10 −4 mol/1 were found in organs. While the teratogenic dose 50% is lower than the lethal dose 50% by a factor of 40, some 12.5% of fetal malformations still occur at 1/1000 of the lethal dose.
