The transfer of iodine through the environment and into food depends on the chemical form (species) in which it was discharged.
This project has reviewed the literature on the effect of chemical form on the transfer of iodine .
This project has reviewed the literature on the effect of chemical form on the transfer of iodine and has provided information that will be used in the Agency�s models for assessing the impact of discharges of radioactivity on consumer intake of selected foods.
