Description
The physicochemical form of airborne 131I, released during the Chernobyl accident, was investigated in Japan during the period 6 to 19 May 1986. The proportions of 131I species identified during that period were: 19% particulate iodine, 5% I2, 6% HOI and 70% organic iodides. These results are similar to those obtained in previous studies of airborne stable iodine in inland regions. A fraction of 131I2 which was adsorbed on particulate matter desorbed from it during the sampling process. (author)
