Potaside - Potassium Iodide

Looking for POTASSIUM IODIDE? KI is the symbol for potassium iodide. It is a combination of potassium and iodine salts. Radiation Protection: A major benefit of potassium iodide is its ability to counteract radiation. Potassium iodide will stop the absorption of radioactive isotopes in the event of accidental exposure. This is one of the first lines of defense against any type of radiation hazard. Thyroid Protection: KI stops the thyroid from absorbing needless radiation in the environment and prevents the development of thyroid cancer and many other radioactive-related diseases. The US government has even stockpiled large amounts of potassium iodide tablets and capsules for residents who live within a short distance of a nuclear reactor. Water Purification: Potassium iodide can even be used to purify drinking water. In the event of a nuclear emergency, radiation spill, flood, tornado or devastating hurricane most water resources could become inaccessible or contaminated. With potassiu
