Thorium constitutes about 4E-8% of the visible baryonic matter of the universe by mass. Visible baryonic matter is about 4.9% of the total mass of the universe, as per the latest estimates. So the mass-percentage of thorium in the universe would be 4E-8 x 0.049 = ... very little.

What is the percentage of thorium in clay soil that is absorbed into the body?

When not mixed with clay, about 0.02% (depending on the type of thorium compound)of ingested Thorium is absorbed into the body but since Thorium is strongly adsorbed by clay, the absorption of ingested Thorium mixed with clay soil is negligible, much less than 0.02%.

Common commpouds of thorium?

Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
