With special regard to radiojodine, radiocesium and radiostrontium a review is given on comparative metabolism of some nuclides in various species. From data regarding exposure, absorption, distribution, retention and excretion of radionuclides species specific peculiarities are suggested which, in a fundamental manner, concern the toxicological evaluation of radionuclides as well as the possibilities of inter-specific extrapolation and the estimation of the transfer of radionuclides through the food chain.
