0393- 120105 ヨウ素剤がきた。
新しいヨウ素剤が家に市の保健所から郵送されてきました。前に市から配布されたヨウ素剤は去年の12月で使用期限切れ。前回は飲み薬の形でしたが、今回は錠剤で送られてきました。ところが妻と子どもの分のみ。僕のは? なんと40歳以上には配られないのでした。(国の基準では妊婦及び40歳未満の市民のみに配布とのこと)できるだけ年金を払いたくないのだろうなーと深読みしたのは僕だけでしょうか。(^_^;)
以下は U.S. Environmental Protection Agency のサイトより

Protecting People from Iodine-129
How do I know if I'm near radioactive iodine?
Living near a nuclear power plant may slightly increase your annual exposure to I-131. Detecting radioactive iodine in the environment requires specialized equipment. Most major medical centers can test for isotopes of iodine in your body.
What can I do to protect myself and my family from iodine-129 and iodine-131?
The thyroid cannot tell the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive iodine. It will take up radioactive iodine in whatever proportion it is available in the environment.
If large amounts of radioactive iodine are released during an nuclear accident, large doses of stable iodine may be distributed by government agencies to keep your thyroid gland from absorbing too much radioactive iodine: Raising the concentration of stable iodine in the blood, increases the likelihood that the thyroid will absorb it instead of radioactive iodine. (Note: Large doses of stable iodine can be a health hazard and should not be taken except in an emergency. However iodized table salt is an important means of acquiring essential non-radioactive iodine to maintain health.
