Abstract: | Hairless rats, clothes, human hair, filter paper and water were exposed to gaseous elemental iodine in a glass chamber for
60–120 minutes. The deposition of gaseous elemental iodine on skin and lung of rats, human hair, water, clothes and paper
were investigated by measuring iodine content in the exposed material by epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA). For
measurement of the iodine concentration in the chamber air, elemental iodine in the air was collected by continuously sucking
air through an active charcoal column. The trapped iodine in the active charcoal was then determined by ENAA. The measured
deposition velocity in the test chamber of gaseous elemental iodine on skin, clothing, hair and water ranges from 0.006 on
filter paper and water to about 0.05 cm/s on skin and clothes. The variation of elemental iodine concentration in air of the
glass chamber was investigated by collecting and analyzing air samples at various time intervals. The results show that the
variation with time in the concentration of the iodine can be described by an exponential function. |
