FACTORS INFLUENCING THE THYROID UPTAKE OF IODINE ISOTOPES FROM NUCLEAR FISSION. A REVIEW

Journal Article · · Health Physics (England)
A review is presented on the physiologica1 factors involved in the uptake of iodine isotopes (primarily I/sup 131/) from fallout by the thyroid gland in man. Respiratory intake, stable iodine intake, iodide ion metabolism, iodide loss by secretion and excretion, maternal, feta1, and newborn thyroid physiology, and differences in thyroid physiology are discussed. 109 references are included.
