“…Urinary excretion is a predomination route (35–75% in 24 h) although there is the same fecal extraction as well. A high incidence of thyroid cancer was reported in heavily contaminated areas of the Chornobyl accident (Table 1 ) 10 .

“…"After the accidents of nuclear power plants at Chernobyl and at Fukushima, huge amounts of radioactive iodine were released into the atmosphere" [4]. Of the two million children who lived close to Chernobyl, 7,000 cases of thyroid cancer were diagnosed in 2005.…”

“…These iodate species impact the subsequent spent fuel reprocessing processes and threaten the ecosystem and human health if they are inadequately removed. [12][13][14] Given the above aspects, it is necessary to find an effective mechanism for iodate reduction into molecular iodine. Nitrite is a reducing agent that is commonly used for similar purposes (eqn (2)).…”
