Background: Thyroid dysfunction after exposure to low or moderate doses of radioactive
iodine-131 (131I) at a young age is a public health concern. However, quantitative data are …

Deterministic thyroid radiation doses due to iodine-131 (131I) intake were reconstructed in a

garnering increasing attention in cancer research. To our knowledge, there is no …

During a serious nuclear reactor accident a large fraction of the radioactive iodine in the fuel
can escape from the core and subsequently from the plant. While the noble gases in reactor …

Background The excess incidence of thyroid cancer in Ukraine and Belarus observed a few
years after the Chernobyl accident is considered to be largely the result of 131I released …

Background While there is a robust literature on environmental exposure to iodine-131
