Environmental Context.Various organic iodine compounds (including CH3I, CH2ClI, CH2BrI, CH2I2) are present throughout the marine boundary layer as a result of their production from seaweeds, phytoplankton, and photolysis reactions occurring in seawater. In air, these compounds rapidly photolyse to give atomic I which subsequently reacts with ozone to form iodine oxide, potentially leading to perturbations of the tropospheric oxidative capacity and nucleation of atmospheric particles. Recent research has identified molecular iodine as an additional source of iodine atoms to coastal areas. Here we study the relative roles and controls of gaseous organic and molecular iodine release from the seaweed Laminaria digitata. Abstract.Changes in the halocarbon, I2 and particle production of the brown algal kelp Laminaria digitata as a response to different chemical stresses have been investigated. Oxidative stress (caused by either exogenous hydrogen peroxide, gaseous ozone or a solution of oligoguluronates, known elicitors of oxidative stress) caused increased halocarbon and I2 production by the seaweed. The maximum I2 release was observed under exposure to O3 (at several hundred parts per billion by volume (ppbv)), whereas oligoguluronates elicited the highest release of iodine-containing halocarbons including CH2I2. Significantly greater production of I2, compared to CH2I2, was observed at atmospheric levels of ozone. Particle production was observed only when the Laminaria samples were exposed to ozone (up to 16 000 cm−3 s−1 per gram fresh weight (FW) of seaweed with a ~2 min residence time and with a total I atom flux of 1.6 × 108 cm−3 s−1 g−1 FW from photolysis of I2); passing O3-free air over the unstressed seaweed followed by secondary mixing with ozone did not result in any measurable particle formation. Our limited data indicate that ozone elicits abiotic production of I2 from Laminaria and that there is a direct relationship between the amount of I2 released and the number of particles formed. The results support the recent hypothesis that molecular iodine rather than volatile organic iodine (e.g. CH2I2) release from exposed seaweeds is the major source of coastal new particle production.

Abstract. Intense new particle formation (NPF) events were observed in the coastal atmosphere during algae growth and farming season at Xiangshan gulf of the east China coast. High nucleation-mode iodine concentrations measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS) confirmed that the NPF events were induced by iodine species. Our study provides important information on iodine speciation, size distributions, and its role in NPF in the context of heavy air pollution in China's coastal areas. For the first time, we identified 5 inorganic iodine species, 45 organic iodine compounds (35 molecular formulas), and a group of iodide–organic adducts in aerosols. The concentrations and size distributions of iodine species down to 10 nm were measured during the iodine-induced NPF, continental NPF, and non-NPF days at the coastal site and compared to those at an inland site. The iodine in the above four aerosol sample types were characterized by iodate, aromatic iodine compounds, iodoacetic acid or iodopropenoic acid, and iodide–organic adducts, respectively. Iodide and organic iodine compounds were found in the nucleation-mode particles; however, it is still not clear whether they contributed to nucleation or just new particle growth. Wild algae, as well as farmed algae, could be an important NPF source in China's coastal areas.

Abstract The article "Determination of Organic Iodine Compounds in Serum: IV. A New Nonincineration Technic for Serum Thyroxine" by Vincent J. Pileggi and Gerald Kessler—Clin. Chem. 14, 339 (1968)—contains an error. On page 340, under Reagents, the preparation of the bromate-bromide reagent should read: Bromate-bromide reagent (0.1 M KBrO3, 0.6 M KBr) KBrO3, 1.67 gm., and KBr, 7.14 gui., are dissolved in distilled water, and the solution made to a final volume of 100 ml.

ABSTRACT The effect was studied of large doses of radioiodine on the relative amounts of various organic iodine compounds present in the thyroid glands of rats. At 24 hours there was no effect of radiation from 131I on the relative amounts of diiodotyrosine, monoiodotyrosine, and thyroxine plus triiodothyronine found in the gland. After 48 hours and 5 days, during which time there is known to be considerable destruction of epithelial cells, there was an inhibition of thyroxine synthesis but not of the iodination of tyrosine. There is evidence that even at some days after irradiation at the levels used some follicles are preserved and able to synthesize hormones.
