The behaviour of thorium in animals exposed through injection, ingestion and inhalation, as well as in uranium miners, millers and the general population suggests that thorium accumulates primarily in the lung, tracheobronchial lymph nodes and skeleton; or in the liver if injected with polymeric thorium. Epidemiological studies on uranium miners, Thorotrast studies in man and animal, and studies on the toxic effects of thorium in animals suggest that there is no apparent heart diseases due to exposure to thorium in man and animal.
通过注射、摄入和吸入途径接触钍的动物，以及铀矿工人、钍剂生产工人和普通人群体内钍的行为表明，钍主要蓄积在肺、气管支气管淋巴结和骨骼中；如果注射聚合钍，则蓄积在肝脏中。对铀矿工人的流行病学研究、人体和动物的钍造影剂研究，以及对动物体内钍毒性作用的研究表明，人和动物接触钍不会引发明显的心脏病。
