- Abstract
Therefore, the generation of volatile iodines, by reducing atmospheric O SB 3 sb SP - sp pollution can alleviate the damaging effects of global warming[12] and could have a paradoxically beneficial consequence of improvements in iodine status and thyroidal health. The contribution to respiratory intake of increased atmospheric iodine is more difficult to assess, although higher urinary iodine levels occurred in those communities living adjacent to an abundant seaweed growth over which higher volatile iodine levels were observed. The calculated daily iodine intake based on atmospheric I SB 2 sb levels recorded in the seaweed abundant area would range from 3.8 to 19.6 g/day.[6] This effect, together with increased iodine deposition in rain would be expected to be greater in an atmosphere enriched in iodine.
