Iodine is an essential element in the human diet and a deficiency can lead to a number of
health outcomes collectively termed iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). The geochemistry of …

Iodine was discovered as a novel element in 1811 during the Napoleonic Wars. To
celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of this event we reflect on the history and highlight …

Iodine is a critical trace element involved in many diverse and important processes in the
Earth system. The importance of iodine for human health has been known for over a century …

Recent studies have highlighted the impact of sea surface iodide concentrations on the
deposition of ozone to the sea surface and the sea to air flux of reactive iodine. The use of …

129I is commonly either the top or among the top risk drivers, along with 99Tc, at
radiological waste disposal sites and contaminated groundwater sites where nuclear …

Iodine is an essential trace element for humans and animals because of its important role as
a constituent of thyroid hormones. If the anthropogenic iodine-129 (129I, half-life: 1.6× 107 …

The geochemical transport and fate of radioiodine depends largely on its chemical
speciation that is greatly affected by environmental factors. This study reports, for the first …

The transformation between iodate (IO 3−), the thermodynamically stable form of iodine, and
iodide (I-), the kinetically stable form of iodine, has received much attention because these …

Fragrances and malodors are ubiquitous in the environment, arising from natural and
artificial processes, by the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although …

Iodine compounds were measured above, below and within the sea ice of the Weddell Sea
during a cruise in 2009, to make progress in elucidating the mechanism of local …
