Abstract Oil and natural gas fields are accompanied by formation waters, usually highly mineralized brines containing a variety of trace elements. Analyses carried out in various sedimentary basins around the world indicate that these waters are often enriched in elements such as iodine, lithium and strontium. Currently, these micronutrients are finding increasing application in the production of lithium-ion batteries and lithium batteries (lithium) and in the pharmaceutical, medical and pharmaceutical industry (iodine). Due to the development of production of LCD displays and batteries (e.g. for electric cars), the expected increase in demand for iodine and lithium is 2% and 1.5%, respectively. The reserves of these elements are limited and unevenly distributed. Iodine is currently produced in the three countries: Chile (65% of the world production), Japan and the US. Lithium is produced in Argentina, Australia and Chile, while strontium is produced in China (50% of the global production), Spain and Mexico. Iodine, lithium and strontium are not produced in Poland and the total demand is met by imports. Brines with high iodine content, occurring in the hydrocarbon deposits, have been found in oil basins in the United States, Canada and Germany. In the United States, this element is recovered from formation water. Lithium found in numerous formation waters in the US, Canada, Japan and Germany has not yet been recovered, while the construction of the pilot plant in Canada is underway. The increased strontium content has been found in waters accompanying hydrocarbon deposits in North America and China. However, strontium has not yet been recovered from the aforementioned deposits. In Poland, the question of possible use of chemical elements dissolved in reservoir brines, with the exception of iodine, has not yet been studied. The above mentioned element (iodine) was recovered from brines in the area of Bochnia (Carpathian Foredeep), the only geological unit where an analysis of iodine content in the formation waters has been carried out in the recent years. The lithium and strontium content in the formation waters, as well as the question of their possible use, have not yet been studied.

Drinking Waters

Drinking water has long been supposed to play an important part in the causation of endemic goitre. Estimations by v. Fellenberg (1923, 1924) in Switzerland and by Mcclendon and Hathaway (1924) in the United States have shown that, in these countries, drinking water in goitre areas contains less iodine than in goitre-free areas. The iodine content of several waters has been estimated at this Institute. The results show that in this country there is no correlation between presence of goitre and a low iodine content in drinking water. It is true that the lowest figure (Swindon) is for water from a goitre area, but the next one (Aberdeen) is not. The figures for Cumberland and Derbyshire, both goitre areas, are not low.

Iodine (atomic weight 126.9 g/mol) is an essential component of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones, and therefore iodine, are essential for mammalian life (1). The native iodine content of most foods and beverages is low, and the most commonly consumed foods provide 3–80 μ‎g/serving (1). The major dietary sources of iodine in the United States of America and Europe are bread and milk (2). Boiling, baking, and canning of foods containing iodized salt cause only small losses (≤10%) of iodine content. The iodine content in foods is also influenced by iodine-containing compounds used in irrigation, fertilizers, livestock feed, dairy industry disinfectants, and bakery dough conditioners. The recommendations for iodine intake by age and population group (3) are shown in Table 3.2.3.1.

Crude Preparation

THYROID PREPARATIONS constitute the most widely employed hormonal agents in pediatric practice today with the possible exception of the steroids. The available forms of this hormone for therapeutic use and the indications for its employment merit reconsideration. Desiccated thyroid U.S.P. is a relatively crude extract of animal glands and is the least expensive preparation on the market. In the United States the employment of the hormone in this form has been generally satisfactory although on rare occasions there have been reports of inadequate potency. The dosage of desiccated thyroid is based upon the weight of the standard preparation and standardization is officially prescribed according to the iodine content of the extract rather than the quantity of specific active hormone per unit weight. Certain extracts of the animal thyroid gland are more highly purified than the U.S.P. standard, but it is doubtful that they represent any major advantage and their cost is considerably greater. With the availability of synthetic 1-thyroxine there has been a tendency to favor this chemically pure hormone in pediatric practice and although its cost is greater than the crude preparation it is hardly to be considered an expensive drug. A still more active hormone of the thyroid gland available in pure form is 1-triiodothyronine but to date there is no proof that this last compound has any basic superiority in the treatment of most appropriate conditions. It would seem, therefore, that the choice lies between desiccated thyroid, U.S.P., and 1-thyroxine. The relative potency of these two substances is such that 60 mgm of the former is equivalent to 0.1 mgm of the latter.
