Is iodine gas a greenhouse gas?
No. Iodine is released into the air by humans through coal and fuel oil burning power plants, and also by the ocean, with the ocean being a much larger supplier. The iodine is not harmful, and will typically return to the soil or ocean. While iodine can be radioactive, it normally decays quickly and becomes stable again. The only form of iodine that has potential to be dangerous to the environment is a radioactive form that has a half-life of millions of years, and is released by nuclear power plants. http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/elements/i.htm
What are some environmental concerns about using the radioisotope iodine?
Iodine collects in the thyroid. If there is a radionuclide of iodine "loose" then we might end up ingesting it and having it collect in our thyroid. The radionuclide would sit there and irradiate us. That's not good. It's a bad idea to have radioactive iodine in the environment.
If you have hyperthyroidism which is bad for you iron or iodine?
If you have hyperthyroidism, neither iron nor iodine is bad for you. Excessive consumption of either can be dangerous however, and since iodine is fuel the thyroid uses to produce thyroid hormone, anti-thyroid drugs (ATD's) are used to help the body lower its ability to use iodine in the thyroid. Iodine is necessary for life however, as is iron. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.
Is iodised salt bad for you?
Iodine itself is a deadly poison. In a "tincture of iodine" it was once used as a topical antibiotic, applied to cuts and scrapes. (It hurt like hell!) Tiny amounts of iodine are essential to life; lack of sufficient iodine causes a disease called goiter. In the US, we prevent iodine deficiency by adding trace amounts of iodine to table salt. That's why most salt is called "iodized".
Does sea salt contain iodine?
Iodine is an essential chemical element for the production of thyroid hormones that help regulate growth and metabolism. Natural iodine exists in all living plants and animals. Food that comes from the sea contain the most iodine and the seaweed is an excellent source. In irony to this, salt from the sea, or salt from any other sources for that matter, does not contain iodine. Processed salt likeÊiodized salt is the only salt product that contain iodine because extra iodine is added during processing.
