Application:
A.Food additives:
Sodium iodide and potassium iodide are commonly used to treat and prevent iodine deficiency, and commercially available table salt often contains a small amount of potassium iodide.
B.Medical:
Various countries will distribute or reserve iodine tablets for residents around nuclear power plants. The main component is potassium iodide formed by the combination of non radioactive iodine-127 and potassium. In the event of radiation leakage from nuclear power plants due to disasters, surrounding residents can take iodine tablets to saturate iodine-127 in the thyroid gland and reduce the absorption of radioactive iodine-131 by the thyroid gland. But it needs to be taken within four hours of exposure to free iodine radiation to be effective, and it cannot prevent free radiation and radioactive isotopes other than iodine type radioactive isotopes [8]. Improper use without proper guidance by the general public can cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism
Storage:
- Storage environment: Potassium iodide should be stored in a dry, cool, well ventilated indoor environment, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures.
- Storage container: Potassium iodide should be stored in a well sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation.
- Storage labeling: Clear labels should be affixed to storage containers, indicating information such as item name, specifications, production date, etc.
- Personnel management: Personnel storing potassium iodide should undergo professional training to understand the properties and safe operating procedures of potassium iodide.
