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 is the formula for iodine tribromide?

Does sodium propionate contain iodine?

Chlorine is not a compound, it is an element. That means that if you have a pure sample of chlorine then it will not contain iodine, or anything other than chlorine. It would be somewhat unlikely to find iodine as an impurity in chlorine, because iodine is solid at room temperature while chlorine is a gas.


Which has more protons sulfur or idoine?

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons of an element. Atomic number of sulphur is 16 while the atomic number of Iodine is 53. So iodine has more protons.

What is the chemical used in Grave's disease to destroy tissue of the thyroid gland?

Grave's Disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder in which your body is rejecting and destroying your thyroid. There is no way to stop the process, but you can slow it down and lessen the symptoms of the disease. If you go to an endocrinologist you will be told to take radioactive iodine to destroy your remaining thyroid tissue, and then you will be put on synthetic thyroid hormones that you must take for the rest of your life. The normal end result of Grave's disease is a total loss of thyroid tissue. Radioactive iodine treatment just gets you to that point in a couple of weeks or months rather than having to wait years. There are natural approaches to treatment for Grave's disease as well. The goal of natural therapies is to support your body while your thyroid is being destroyed by lowering your antibody levels and reducing your symptoms. You may or may not need thyroid hormones (determined by blood tests) during portions of this treatment. The benefit of natural treatments is that you can avoid the negative side effects of radiation.

What can goods are safe from radiation?

Things don't contain radiation. They can EMIT radiation, but they do this by actively producing it. It's like people emit sounds when they talk but there isn't a load of sound sitting inside the person waiting to be released.
