Abstract: Variation of the stable iodine supply was evaluated in the soils of around more than 700 settlements in the regions (oblasts) of Belarus and the Russian Federation contaminated after the Chernobyl accident…. Estimates of iodine availability from different types of soils were corrected for volumetric weight and adjusted for the type of settlement in order to assign the stable iodine status for each subject in a case–control study of thyroid cancer risk following the Chernobyl accident. The epidemiological study found a significant modifying effect of iodine deficiency on the risk of thyroid cancer following exposure to radioiodines.

Abstract: Childhood thyroid cancer caused by radioactive iodine fallout is one of the main health … accident were particularly high in those who were children at the time and drank milk with high levels of radioactive iodine. By 2002, more than 4000 thyroid cancer cases had been diagnosed in this group, and it is most likely that a large fraction of these thyroid cancers is attributable to radioiodine intake.
