“…In the past, iodine concentration or speciation has been measured in natural and drinking water (Chen et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2015;Wang and Jiang, 2008;Wei et al, 2007), precipitation (Gilfedder et al, 2007a;Yoshida et al, 2007), soil (Yoshida et al, 2007), animal and microalgae tissues (Hughes et al, 2006;Kaňa et al, 2015;Shah et al, 2005), edible salts (Yun et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2010), and milk (Wang and Jiang, 2008). Previous measurements in ambient aerosols showed only three iodine species: I -, iodate (IO 3 -) and total soluble organic iodine (SOI) and their relative concentration and size distribution varied largely with locations (e.g.…”
